One of the historical decks of the world, this deck is notable mainly because it is the first deck known to have real scenes painted for the numbered cards. Done in full color paintings instead of engravings or woodblock stamping, the 78 cards are all fully illustrated. One can see, at least in a few cards, a very strong influence on her work from this deck. One example of this is the Three of Swords, seen here . The painting style shows figures which are drawn in old Roman clothing and almost everyone is heavily armed and muscled.
Many cards feature people being impaled, beheaded or other similarly grotesque wartime hazards.
I can see where they are very well done, but I do not find this attractive in the least. The Major Arcana in this deck feature ancient Roman warriors. The cards bear little resemblance to what we consider traditional tarot. They are numbered accordingly so that you can figure out pretty much who is what, however their titles are simply the name of the warrior featured on each card. Ordering tends to follow the Marseilles style.
