Franck J. Jerger and two tarots?

Cerulean

1.The one most known is Tarot de Beascon style:

2. David Fontana's Secret Language of Symbols has the 22 majors--I am not certain that all the majors were from a Franck J. Jerger Tarot--the only reference is the British Museum in London. They are a regular Emperor and Empress, not Juno and Jupiter. The color pictures are available if you log into amazon.com and do a search inside the book...I wrote tarot and fool in the keyword search to come with the first image:

Let me know if I need to add more detail to the title so you can come up with the right book to search inside.

You have to log in to be able to view the images, but it's worth looking inside the book to see perhaps a different tarot? There are nine images that have Franck J. Jerger stamped or small faded writing on them, the rest of the images do not seem to have the stamp or just have traces of ink.

I have both the bigger book and pocket book--the pocket book is more handy and what I have handy right now. The contents seem to be the same, down to the color pictures, for me.

Anyway, I thought it was interesting the same maker possibly had different styles for different regional games...

Hi Cerulean

I also have the 'larger' edition of David Fontana's book,
The Secret Language of Symbols. The Tarot, pg. 168ff
has some of the Majors stamped "J. Jerger" but others
look like they were taken from several Marseille decks...

Also I notice the spelling of Jerger varies on some cards.
