Colors used in this deck are blue, green, yellow, red, brown, beige, and a deep indigo. The Épinal tarot cards are believed to have been first published in 1830 by the art printers Pellerin & Cie, who were established in the Vosges district of France since 1796 producing card games, religious prints and other imagery, all inexpensively printed for popular distribution. The cards were in production until the 1870s. The woodcuts were produced by Francois Georgin (1801-1863), a famous engraver during the Napoleonic period, retaining the composition and general features of the Tarot de Marseille. As Épinal is located close to Besançon and Strasbourg, Georgin appears to have been inspired by packs in the Tarot de Besançon style which were already being produced locally and which include Juno and Jupiter on trumps nos II and V, instead of The Popess and The Pope, and who in the Roman pantheon were the emperor and empress of the gods. This feature originated during the earlier religious wars between Catholics and Protestants. The colours are bright and cheerful. Some of the card titles and iconography depart from the traditional ones, such as Escamoteur instead of The Magician and Le Capucin instead of The Hermit. The Justice card shows a mirror and snake next to a book and Laws engraved in stone. The minor arcana numeral cards are attractively designed with elegant sword hilts, graceful handles on the batons, decorated with foiliage and flowers This rare authentic tarot playing card deck is highly collectible.
