Around 1760 a German card maker, Johann Christoph Hes, created this deck in Augsburg, adapting the Marseille Tarot to a substantially joyful vision of human life. In fact, the most original aspect consists in the faces of the Court Figures and the Major Arcana: everyone smiles amiably, including Death and the Devil. This feature makes us reflect on possible uses of the deck that are different from usual. Each card bears the original caption in French, following the marseillais tradition.
The only Tarot of Hes known today is preserved in the British Museum in London, which has only ceded the publication rights to Rinascimento Italian Style Art.
The 78 hand-painted cards have been reproduced on fine paper with a high percent of cotton, also suitable for fortune telling.
The faithful reprint is edited by Giordano Berti, known throughout the world as one of the greatest experts in the history and esotericism of the Tarot.
LIMITED EDITION: 900 numbered copies
The same deck is available in the ART BOX, simpler but equally elegant.
