Before Arthur Edward Waite and Pamela Colman Smith, the Italian Giovanni Vacchetta had already illustrated all the Minor Arcana. His intent, not esoteric but artistic and decorative, precedes the English school by a decade, marking a milestone in the history of the Tarot - or Naibi, as Vacchetta used to call them.
Originally printed in 1893 by renowned artist Giovanni Vacchetta (1863-1940), this deck is one of the great masterpieces of the 19th century. Now available as part of Lo Scarabeo's bestselling Anima Antiqua (Ancient Soul) series, this limited edition, numbered deck showcases the classical Marseilles style, but in Vacchetta's expressive drawing style.
The premium cardstock and deluxe box make for an elegant format that deserves to be put on display in your collection.
