I would like to share some thoughts on the Tarot de François Chosson, published by Yves Renaud.
First of all, I would like to mention that this deck is of high quality. I have been using one of my copies for a while and it is perfectly suitable to shuffle and spread. And the images are just outstanding.
Of course, as a historical reproduction this deck has all the flaws of the original one. But these flaws make it even more realistic. On page 65 of a book by Mazlo, there is an interesting sentence about the Chosson deck which I would like to quote:
«Sieur Chosson était probablement un des derniers de la lignée à avoir essayé de suivre scrupuleusement la Tradition dans la reproduction des Tarots».
(Robert Mazlo: À la recherche du Tarot perdu. Editions Ramuel. 1998).
I must say that when I bought the Madenié and the Chosson (I bought them together) it was the Madenié the one that I liked the most. But my Madenié was not suitable for use as it is the Chosson. For that reason I began using the Chosson (of which I bought an additional copy to store in my collection) and by working with it I have come to feel a great link with this deck and all its designs and colours. Now I just love it.
I would like to know your opinions about this deck, which by the present time is my working deck of the tradition of the Tarot de Marseille.
