"I also enjoy reading with the Lenormand deck made by Daveluy, which has been beautifully reworked by Lauren Forestell, who specializes in restoring facsimile decks—cleaning up 200 years' worth of card shuffling and human grief. The coloring on the Daveluy is very beautiful. Chromolithography gave an incredibly clear color to everything, and I think it was probably as revolutionary as Technicolor was in the days of the movies."
“我同样喜欢Daveluy制作的莱诺门牌，Lauren Forestell现在把它重制过了，他是一个复制过上下近200年历史的塔罗牌的专家，Daveluy的牌色彩艳丽，石版印刷术让每一种颜色都显得分明，我认为这种技术革新的意义等同于彩色电影的发明。”
The illustration on some decks did double duty, providing divinatory tools and scientific knowledge, like the Geografia Tarocchi deck from around 1725. "The Geografia are extraordinary cards, almost like a little encyclopedia of the world with the oracle imagery peeking out at the top," Matthews says. "The actual bit that you read from is just a cigarette-card length. So for example, the hanged man just shows his legs at the top of the card, while the rest of the card has information about Africa or Asia or other places on it."
插图不仅有占卜学上的意义，有些时候它也传播了科学，比如在约1725年出现的地理塔罗牌。“地理塔罗牌是很特别的，几乎就是一部小的百科全书，同时上面又印着占卜用的图案，”Matthews说。“虽然你能读到的部分只有烟盒一样大小，举个例子，倒吊人这张牌的上面只有他的腿，剩下的部分写着关于非洲和亚洲的内容。”
On the Geografia deck, the symbolic imagery is reduced to a small colored segment at the top of each card; the rest is related to global geography. Via eBay.
eBay上的地理塔罗牌，占卜图像只占很小一部分，剩下的都是全球地理知识。
