Details and condition: Balbi Tarot deck out of print, published by Fournier, Vitoria, Spain, in 1976. The deck features original illustrations by Domenico Balbi. Domenico Balbi was an Italian artist who also studied, wrote, and gave lectures on metaphysical and philosophical topics, including the Kabbalah and the symbolism of the Tarot. The design incorporates bright colors, cabalist signs and symbols, and alchemical and astrological symbols. The deck is bilingual; the Major Arcana titles are in English and Spanish. The full set of 78 cards. The box is sturdy and shows slight signs of wear from storage,

The tarot cards are in excellent condition. Practically like new (note that some cards are slightly warped, see photos).

The back of the cards has a stylized decorative green-on-purple pattern, identifying the deck with the very first edition of 1976, very rare.

Inside the box there is a tissue insert with the number 5722, probably referring to the print/run number.
