Triomphes de Paris

This was a bet, gambling with feasibility : was it possible to create cards in the XVIIth century way without the help of modern techniques ? From this idea were born the Triomphes de Paris. The pack is made of 22 cards (plus a title card and a number card) – each one of them engraved and blockprinted for each copy – based on the Jacques Vieville’s tarot trumps serie (or « major arcana » in the occultist terms).

This first original creation, for which each card was engraved, and each copy printed, assembled and finished by hand in the closest way possible to ancient cardmakers methods, led to the creation of this website and the other cards you can find here.
