Le Tarot des Grands Peintres - 1979 Thot's Tree

“Do not ask anything of the Tarots if you are not like a Mirror before the Astral, otherwise they will become wild beasts who will play with you instead of serving you.”

Artist: J. Breyer Designer:
22 cards Major arcana only
Size: 8.75 in(22cm) x 4.5 in(11cm)
Date: 1979. Editions Ergonia

An extremely rare piece for collectors and connoisseurs.
NOT JUST A TAROT, IT IS AN INCREDIBLE PIECE OF ART!

This deck is known by several other names, including Tree of Thoth Tarot, Tarot of Great Painters, Le Tarot des Grands Peintres, and Arbre du Thot. This is the First Edition of the deck, printed by Editions Ergonia in 1979.

The cards have never been used for readings and have only been removed from the wooden box a few times for viewing. The cards are in near mint to MINT unused condition. This is a Major Arcana only deck, consisting of 22 cards.

The illustrations were taken from classical paintings from several time periods. This deck was printed in France in two different sizes, this is the bigger of the two sizes. The smaller edition was briefly distributed in North America by US Games Systems in 1981.

This deck contains two additional cards, in French, one giving the artist for each card, the other showing the Arbre du Thoth (Tree of Thoth) which gives correspondences for a part of the body for each card (11 body parts). The pack is taken entirely from extant paintings and other art forms whose original inspiration was not necessarily related to tarot. The Encyclopedia of Tarot (Vol. 3, pg 224-2251) also gives the title of each painting with artist. This is a very hard to find set, in amazing condition!
