    Rider–Waite–Smith

    The classic deck drawn by Pamela Colman Smith under Arthur Edward Waite's direction. The first deck to fully illustrate all 78 cards, and the one the card meanings on this site are written for.

  • The Fool, Tarot de MarseilleThe Star, Tarot de MarseilleCard back, Tarot de Marseille

    Tarot de Marseille

    Lequart, Paris, 19th century

    The classic French pattern from which most later decks descend. Only the trumps and court cards carry pictures; the pips show their suit symbols. Justice is numbered VIII and Strength XI, the historical order; we place them by name so meanings line up.

  • The Fool, Tarot de ViévilleThe Star, Tarot de ViévilleCard back, Tarot de Viéville

    Tarot de Viéville

    Jacques Viéville, c. 1650

    One of the earliest surviving French decks, printed in Paris before the Marseille pattern settled. Several trumps sit in a different order from later decks; we match them by name.

  • The Fool, Visconti-SforzaThe Star, Visconti-SforzaCard back, Visconti-Sforza

    Visconti-Sforza

    Bonifacio Bembo, c. 1450

    The most famous Renaissance tarot, hand-painted with gold leaf for the dukes of Milan. Four cards of the original are lost (the Devil, the Tower, the Three of Swords and the Knight of Coins) and the King of Cups is absent from these scans; those five show the Rider-Waite-Smith card instead.

  • The Fool, Sola BuscaThe Star, Sola BuscaCard back, Sola Busca

    Sola Busca

    c. 1491

    The earliest fully illustrated 78-card tarot, engraved in northern Italy, and a direct influence on Pamela Colman Smith's minor arcana. Its trumps are Roman and biblical figures rather than the familiar allegories, so they are matched by number only.

    Oswald Wirth

    Oswald Wirth, 1889

    Wirth's esoteric redrawing of the Marseille trumps for the French occult revival. Major Arcana only; the Minor Arcana show the Rider-Waite-Smith cards.
