Budapest deck
This one reminds me of true folk-art, or naive art, it is not refined like the Madenie....

I too almost missed it. So hard to really keep up to date with absolutely everything. But I like to think that the really special ones, or the ones that will most captivate us, will find us eventually!How did I not see this sooner.... Ordered.
THANK YOU MRPANTS!!!! for this great review and description of the decks, really far more clearer than what I could ever do!
- the strange CCL... is just "250" for the numbering of the first limited edition.
- the only two cards with the additional light blue were considered in the B order as the 2 higher Trumps. On the original documents, I think those spots where probably painted free hand and not stenciled like for the red and yellow.
-I plan to release handmade decks in a near future, backs glued (italian) or multiple sheets (back, front and middle) and then stencil color it. I'm still experimenting the gluing process to get the good result. My redrawings of the cards are independant from the rest of the design so it can be used alone on an art paper and both decks will be part of the trip. In the same time, I work a lot on engraving techniques...
These 2 arrived in the mail today....
I just noticed how cool that second photo is.. All the figures have been reversed! I've always wondered which way the "original" figures faced in the early decks, and which end up being "mirror" images. For example, many (but not all) of the figures in the Noblet and Vandenborre decks appear reversed, by Conver standards, or in the case of your photo, Madenie standard.
