Complete deck of 78 Egyptian Tarot divination cards, also known as the Grand Etteilla III or Grand Jeu de l’Oracle des Dames. This edition published by Éditions Dusserre in 1985 reproduces a tarot from the late 19th-century Etteilla tradition, with its richly illustrated compositions and indications for reading the cards both upright and reversed. It features particularly evocative iconography: sun and moon, Wheel of Fortune, Death, Judgment, royal figures, characters, symbolic scenes, as well as the suits of wands, cups, and swords. The cards feature beautiful colors and their backs are fully printed with a pink geometric pattern. The set offered here is complete with its 78 cards, sold without a box or booklet. The Dusserre edition is well documented as dating from 1985, and the cards measure approximately 61 × 120 mm.
