Transformation Playing cards 80s and 2 decks plus book

The best-known fantasies with playing cards are the ‘Transformation’ cards. Hand-drawing ‘transformations’ onto a pack of ordinary playing cards, with the suit symbols forming part of the overall composition, became a popular pastime 200 years ago and a test of skill in drawing. A great deal of ingenuity is required in their design. The earliest printed sets were published at the start of the 19th century, often published in the form of an almanac or sometimes known as ‘metastasis’, and these became a fashionable and entertaining novelty.

1st deck:
The "Jeu de Cotta Cartes de Fantaisie" deck is a 1984 reproduction of the first set of transformation cards that was published as an actual deck of playing cards. Transformation cards have playing card suit symbols with drawn scenes added, but aren't divinatory like many tarot or oracle decks.
This 1984 reproduction transformation deck, made by J.M. S. France-Cartes for B. P. Grimaud of France, is known by "Jeu de Cotta" & "Cartes de Fantaisie.
The cards are mint. The box is in excellent condition, “as new” or nearly so.

2nd deck:
Le jeu Gerente made by Grimaud and published by Moncar c.1983, based upon early woodcut images that had been used by Alfred Gerente as designs for stained glass windows that he made in the 19th century. The back design shows the labyrinth from Amiens Cathedral. There is an accompanying card in French that supplies these and additional details about the cards.
The deck has 52 suited cards, plus 2 Jokers, plus the explanatory card noted. The cards are square cornered and printed on unfinished stock. They are wide, measuring 88mm x 62mm, and come in the original box.
The cards are mint. The box is in excellent condition, “as new” or nearly so.
