Description
OOP SEALED ~ The Victorian Romantic Tarot by Baba Studios
After a huge amount of inquiries Baba Studios has made a fourth (and probably final) edition with metallic overlay in many shades. This is designed by hand, so that it’s subtle enough to suit the theme but still adds a touch of glamour.
- The new, fourth edition has TWO Queen of Pentacles cards – the original one, and one based on an image that almost made it into the deck when they did the first edition. It provides a more inclusive option for this Queen.
- Voted “Deck of the Year” 2006 at Aeclectic Tarot Forum, the deck is an authentic re-working of 19th century art. Many readers find the cards particularly good for looking at a range of relationship issues, as the pictures are narrative and really do “tell a story”, making them ideal for intuitive readings.
- This deck is being issued in a small run and will NOT be distributed by mass-market distributors such as Amazon.
- This is the standard “open” edition so could in theory be reprinted.
More details:
- New 4th edition Victorian Romantic Tarot. This has several changes to the imagery since the third edition. Mainly, they have made the deck more inclusive, the cold-stamping is more prominent than it was in the previous edition, and the back is a new design.
- It also now comes in a beautiful hinged-lid wooden box!
- Fully illustrated with 78 cards (plus title card and one extra) that follow the popular Rider Waite Smith tarot structure, so they are easy to read “out of the box”.
- They are 128 * 78 mm (about 5 * 3 inches).
- Printed on 330 gram European playing-card stock with an inner core to protect against bending and folding.
- Gorgeous, carefully designed metallic overlays (these are actually printed on the card UNDER the other inks and varnish) – this gives the impression of metallics in various colours so is spectacular.
- Printed in Europe and cut by a traditional method.
- Comes in an exquisite wooden box with a hinged lid. This is the first time they’ve offered a wooden box for the standard deck. It’s made for them in Czech Republic by a specialist workshop.
ALSO AVAILABLE:
- Optional unique, matching tarot bags.
- The detailed and engaging companion book (approx 220 pages) has been slightly updated to reflect the new imagery. It discusses each card in depth, and also includes keywords, spreads and information about how to read tarot. Available separately from the deck here.
