Hi, Mascha. You showed this deck in one of your recent videos (a couple of weeks ago) and when I saw this deck, I had to have it. I found it on eBay and ordered it, and it just arrived a little while ago. I love it so much! I really came around on Tarot de Marseille in general, but this one has such pleasing images. I love the softer faces, and the addition of orange to what is usually present. Also, the cardstock sure is dreamy! Thanks for the recommendation. 💕
Awww, Jessie!! 😘 I’m so glad to hear that you love the Carrajat! Isn’t it the most charming soft Marseille Tarot?! And Pablo Robledo’s restoration of it is just superb! ✨💛✨😍✨ I’m even happier to learn you love TdM now too, Jessie! 🥰 I love all tarot lineages, but Marseille tradition is very special to me. Thank you for being here! 🙏🏼🩵
I've probably reached my saturation point with Marseille, but had a quick look anyway and enjoyed the fleshtones despite the sloppy stencil work. I don't know why we treasure replicas of antiques that look like stuff the master printer had his assistants prepare, and at the end of the day considered it not their best work and told them to toss it in the trash. I'm happy to stick with the perfection of Pablo's Robledo. I still haven't found anything better.
This deck was reproduced by Pablo Robledo Robin. And what you consider “sloppy stencil work” some of us consider part of its charm. These cards weren’t produced to be read by cartomancers. They were produced for game players in taverns and gambling houses. And for this period these cards were the best around. French card makers were the gold standard in the 17th and 18th century for mass produced playing cards. It was impossible to meticulously stencil cards for the masses in pre-industrial France. When Gumppenberg was brought in to Milan in the 19th century it was to revamp card-making there and produce cards as well as they were printed in Marseille and Lyons. They later came up with printing with copper plates which was more effective and had a much nicer result which ushered in a new era of printing, wherein decks like the Soprafino came about. Mascha isn’t alone in her appreciation of pre-industrial, rustic decks. There is an entire community of us and many books written on the topic in almost every language.
Thank you for watching, Robin. I do understand that the tarot decks restored with attention to every minor detail and to visually look the closest to their historic originals are not to everyone’s taste. When it comes to this particular tarot, to me it’s outmost charming, and irregularities in, and at times unusual stencilling makes this tarot even more unique and special, as it adds nuances of how I would read certain cards. Pablo examined 4 originals of this historic tarot and overlaid the line work for this restoration. My hope here is that by saying “sloppy stencil work”, you referred to the original copy, not to Pablo’s work, as it’s the furthest from that.
The point of restoration work isn’t to perfect what was imperfect but to preserve something from history that has somehow managed to endure despite being made of such an impermanent thing like paper. It has nothing to do with cartomancy or divination and everything to do with the evolution and history what evolved over centuries. To describe Pablo’s painstakingly beautiful work of 4 years as something that looks like it should have been tossed in the trash is so sad to me. I have both a copy of this deck from kartograme as well as one directly from Pablo and I have to say I agree with Mascha, it is by far my new favorite deck over all and for sure my favorite historic Tarot de Marseille.
Thank you so much for watching @Cartomancy Tarot 🙏❤️ I think this deck may still be available through Pablo Robledo’s friend in South America. Feel free to PM me on Instagram & I’ll share the details.
I think at the moment the Carrajat is sold out, but I know Pablo is working on its updated re-release. I will keep you posted, once I know more, dear Anne. Do you happen to be on Instagram?
@@musingsbymascha I'm on nothing but email! I know you have that because we have exchanged emails. Thanks soooo much for letting me know when you find out. I love Pablo Robledo's decks as well.
My absolute favorite deck now! Pablo is a master and his work is unparalleled. I’m so happy you have a copy now too.

You have a very interesting collection of TdM . I love the Moon in this deck
Thank you once again for stopping by, Gaviota! ✨🙏✨
In this Carrajat… well… I love EVERY card! 🥰🥰🥰
The Moon card resembles closely the Moon of the Rhenan by Piatnik. It is also a wonderful hybrid combining type 1 and 2.
Oh yes, the Carrajat is so charming and delightful!

@@justinmichaeltarot Love your Marseille knowledge Justin 😊
@@musingsbymascha Yes. His reproduction of 'messy' cards is impeccable. I don't think there's any denying that.
Stunning ! Do you know if this deck is still available ?
Thank you so much for watching @Cartomancy Tarot 🙏❤️

Beautiful Tarot! How do I purchase one.
Thank you Njeri. ♥️ I purchased mine directly from Pablo Robledo.
@@musingsbymascha Wow! I would love to be on his purchase list. I love his Works of Art
Any chance I can purchase this deck? I"m not on Facebook but I could have my friend get in to his page? Thanks, Anne
