Jean Dodal Tarot Deck - A Meticulously Restored 18th Century Masterpiece by Artisan Tarot

Immerse yourself in the rich symbolism of traditional tarot with this Jean Dodal Tarot Deck, a faithful restoration of one of the most significant historical decks in cartomancy. Originally created in Lyon, France in 1701, this legendary deck has been painstakingly reimagined for the modern reader while preserving its authentic character.

A Historical Treasure, Reborn

This restoration references the two surviving original decks housed in the National Library of France and the British Museum. Rather than producing a simple reproduction, each image has been meticulously redrawn and recoloured, clarifying details and creating consistency while maintaining the distinctive spirit of Dodal's work. This is traditional tarot brought to life with renewed clarity and elegance.

Crafted for the Discerning Collector

This complete 78-card deck is produced with extraordinary attention to detail:

• Premium 310gsm card stock for exceptional durability

• Linen finish texture that allows for smooth shuffling and comfortable handling

• Standard tarot size (2.75″ × 4.75″) familiar to readers

• Elegant tuck box featuring the card back design for stylish protection

• Proudly printed in the USA to ensure outstanding quality

A Fascinating Historical Mystery

The deck contains an intriguing historical puzzle—the creator's name appears as both "Jean Dodal" on the 2 of Cups and "Jean Dodali" on the 2 of Coins, which notes "Faict a Lyon par Jean Dodali." Historians believe Dodal may have italianised his name to facilitate international trade, a theory supported by the phrase "F.P. Le Trange" (fait pour l'etranger—made for export) appearing on several cards.

Experience this beautiful piece of tarot history, reimagined for contemporary practice while honouring its authentic French heritage. The deck comes complete with an informational card providing historical context and a promotional card, all in a package designed to inspire both novice readers and experienced collectors alike.
