EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases four tarot cards depicting Justice, Temperance, Death, and The Hermit. Each card is a coloured wood engraving from the 17th century by an anonymous French School artist. Housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this remarkable piece of art captures the essence of superstition and fortune-telling. The first card depicts Justice with its symbolic scales representing balance and impartiality. The second card portrays Temperance, showcasing an angel gracefully pouring liquid between two cups as a symbol of moderation and harmony. The third card reveals Death personified as the Grim Reaper wielding a scythe, reminding us of life's inevitable end. Lastly, The Hermit card features a solitary figure seeking wisdom through introspection and solitude. Printed by Nicolas Conver during the 18th century, these tarot cards hold profound prophetic significance. With their intricate details and vivid imagery, they transport us to a time when divination was sought after for guidance and insight into one's future. Whether you are fascinated by prophecy or simply admire the beauty of xylography engravings from centuries past, this print is sure to captivate your imagination. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world filled with skepticism; there is still something enchanting about exploring ancient traditions like tarot reading.
