Description from the seller

General condition: Good overall preservation for a game from this era. The card stock is sound, the colors and illustrations remain very fresh and perfectly legible, showing a homogeneous antique patina. The original paper explanatory booklet is complete, with normal signs of use on its cover (slight creases and wear). Sold without its original rigid box.
Origin: France (Editions B.P. Grimaud, Paris, 54 rue de Lancry). This copy historically comes from an auction sale in Paris (Étude Ader).
Dimensions (cm): About 12 cm x 6.5 cm for the cards (classic standard size of Grimaud cartomancy decks of that era).
Shipping mode: Careful, highly secure dispatch and perfectly protected under bubble wrap or rigid cardboard, with mandatory tracking (Colissimo or carrier recommended according to platform standards).
Additional information:
Collectible card set "Le Grand Etteilla or Egyptian Tarot" (Type II). The lot is strictly complete and includes the 78 original cards as well as its complete original historical explanatory booklet "Manière de tirer le Grand Etteilla". The card backs feature the traditional motif of fine diagonal cross-striped pattern (blue, white, red). Ideal for a collector.
