This is an Il Meneghello limited edition printing of the Italian Soprafino (very refined - super fine) Tarocco Deck. The deck was originally created in 1835 when the Milanese printer Ferdinand Gumppenberg commissioned a deck from the artist/engraver Carlo Dellarocca. The deck had a lasting influence on 19th century card artists and printers. The cards are handmade and faithfully reproduce the originals. Gentle markings and stains are intact and give the whole deck a lovely antique look and feel. Shipped new and sealed in the original box. Edition number will vary with each order.
