Restoration Process

The restoration consisted of meticulously redrawing and recoloring the images. We also clarified many of the details to create consistency. Our goal was not to create an exact reproduction, but an elegant and refined deck that inspires the imagination of the modern reader.

Historical Information

An interesting mystery in the history of this deck is the two different spellings of Jean Dodal's name. On the 2 of Cups, "Jean Dodal" is written in large text. However, on the 2 of Coins is "Faict a Lyon par Jean Dodali". This shows that the deck was produced in Lyon, France, by "Jean Dodali".

Historians believe that Jean Dodal may have changed his name to a more Italian-sounding version in an effort to facilitate export. This theory is supported by the phrase "F.P. Le Trange" (fait pour l'etranger - made for export), which appears on the four Knights, the Page of Batons, Force, and The World.

Pure delight to look at & use!

This is my third deck and they have all been fantastic quality and the service from order to delivery has been excellent. Many thanks.

This version of the Jean Dodal Tarot is a meticulously crafted, gorgeous restoration of the 1701 Marseille Deck. Nothing short of a masterpiece!

It was a very nice deck! I am glad I purchased it.

Hello! What can I say except, BRILLIANT! I am very happy with the Jean Dodal reproduction. Thank you Krisztin and William for your outstanding work on this piece of tarot history. Are there any other historic tarot decks in the future that will reproduced by Artistan Tarot? Kindest Regards Craig.

Being honest, I was always reluctant to these restorations because they always seemed so clean. After having them in my hands I just wonder why I didn't try them sooner. Beautifully designed, the clean aesthetic offers a lighting fast impression because everything jumps out of the cards on a first glance. Add that to Dodal's expressions and you get a masterpiece by Artisan Tarot. Totally recommended.
