Size: 58 x 89 mm 52 cards + 3 additional cards (including 2 with explanatory text in German) These cards are for the Experienced, no instructions provide, however those who can read Hungarian Gypsy Tarot, will find it easy to read this Art Deco Tarot as it's in the same style. Or one could say the Art Deco fortune telling card is an an expansion of the Viennese Biedermeier and "Gypsy" Cartomancy sets to a full complement of 52 cards. The old standbys -- the House, Judge, Sweetheart, Fox, Death, Merriment, Letter, and Desire -- are still here, but they have been joined by added images relating to 20th century social concerns (Treason, the Foreign Woman, Pride). The art is vivid and poster-like, in the colorful graphic style of the 1930s. Each unnumbered card is identified at the bottom with its name in 6 languages. Because the pack fills its box tightly, no instruction booklet is included, but the cards can be read using the booklets from the Gypsy or Biedermeier card sets. This is a wonderful self-interpreting cartomancy deck for professional card readers and for fans of Art Deco poster-style graphics.
