Petit Oracle des Dames

[jaygon]

I’m hoping to eventually secure a copy of this OOP deck. 
 

After a little research, it would appear that there are many versions

This thread had made my head spin somewhat!

 

Is there a standard version which has been reproduced, albeit OOP?
 

Which version did Grimaud (1997) reproduce?

This is the Grimaud/France Cartes version. None of the other patterns have been in print in our own lifetimes, that I'm aware of.
 

 

The cards are somewhat oversized, but they're very nice.

 

This one follows the same pattern as the Grimaud. And the backgrounds are white rather than yellowish. I tend to use it more, since it's smaller. But both are wonderful.



 

It was available here, in the original bridge size. I don't see it now - @tag Jorrit, are there any plans to reprint?

Those are the only two reproductions that I'm aware of.

Thank you Katrinka, 

 

I do hope to track a copy of this beautiful deck. That second listing looks more promising (though currently unavailable) than the Grimaud edition which appears to be rather rare at this stage. It is good to know that both versions are the same pattern.

 

I wonder if this pattern is a facsimile reproduction of the earliest pattern/deck or one of the (very many) later variants? I suppose if I do track a copy, I can consult the various scans of the historical variants online. 
 

My two Etteilla decks have just arrived and I am delighted that the first deck seems to be a facsimile of the Jeu de la Princesse Tarot :

This second deck seems to be the same deck but altered :

Great! Shall we do it in the Etteilla study club? Thanks for letting me join.

Sounds good. I'll make a relevant subforum there later today 🙂
