EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a set of Traditional Tarot Cards, beautifully crafted through woodcut in the 18th century by the French School. Housed in the esteemed Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, these cards hold an air of mystique and intrigue. The image transports us to a world where superstition reigns supreme and fortune telling is both revered and feared. Each card represents a different facet of life's journey - from the enigmatic moon to the prophetic star, from strength to supernatural forces embodied by the devil himself. Death looms ominously as a reminder of life's impermanence, while the wheel of fortune symbolizes our ever-changing fate. These tarot cards were not mere playthings but powerful tools used for divination and prediction during the 17th and 18th centuries. They allowed individuals to peer into their future with hope or trepidation, seeking guidance amidst uncertainty. The intricate details captured within this print highlight not only artistic mastery but also serve as windows into history itself. The delicate lines etched on each card speak volumes about society's beliefs and desires during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded that despite its age, art has an enduring power to transport us across time and space – inviting us to explore realms beyond our own understanding.
