limited edition of 1500 copies
Joseph Feautrier (1717/±1790) engraved his Tarot deck in Marseille at the age of 45, following an apprenticeship begun in 1745 in Bordeaux as a “garçon cartier” (“card maker boy”). Until very recently, only two incomplete copies of this deck were known, one preserved in the Musée du Vieux Marseille, the other in the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris. Recently, Thierry Depaulis, a French historian specializing in playing cards, informed Tarot de Marseilles Heritage of the existence of a third original copy, to this day the only complete one known in the world. This copy in excellent condition belongs to Vincenzo Capuano, Italian professor of history of toys. It is kept at the Museo del Giocattolo in Naples, which he founded. Thanks to the mediation of Wilfried Houdouin, author of the Tarot of Marseille Millennium Edition, with Alfredo Mazzara, Italian tarotologist and filmmaker, the rights have been granted to produce the present edition, thus offering to the public for the first time this faithful reprint of one of the rare authentic Marseille Tarot decks.
