EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the German edition of the Lenormand French cartomancy deck, featuring four cards: The Flowers, The Scythe, The Birch-rod/The Whip, and The Birds. Published by Dondorf in Frankfurt during the 19th century, this deck measures 8.6x5.3 cm and is now part of a private collection. Each card carries its own symbolic meaning within the realm of love, luck, understanding, acceptance, success, warning, danger, accident or threat. Marie Anne Lenormand (1772-1843), a renowned French professional fortune-teller during the Napoleonic era after whom these cards were named continues to inspire their usage today. The Flowers symbolize positivity and happiness with their sweet charm and represent luck and an appreciation for life's beauty. Conversely, The Scythe warns of potential dangers or accidents that may disrupt one's path to success. The Birch-rod/The Whip signifies discord and misunderstanding leading to disputes or arguments among individuals. Meanwhile, The Birds embody messages filled with emotions and ideas but also bring temporary stress due to short-term problems or journeys. With its rich history steeped in superstition and divination practices such as tarot reading and clairvoyance; this deck holds great significance for those seeking guidance on matters of love or fortune telling. Its intricate artwork depicting pink flowers tied with ribbons adds an element of magic to each card's prediction-making process. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection we are reminded of the enduring allure surrounding these ancient symbols that continue to captivate believers in mysticism worldwide
