Paul Marteau

Paul Marteau (1885–1966) was a French cardmaker and director of the Grimaud playing card company, where he played a key role in preserving and modernizing the Tarot de Marseille tradition. In 1930, he introduced the Ancien Tarot de Marseille, a reimagined version of the classic 1761 Conver deck, which became one of the most widely used Marseille-style decks.

In 1949, Marteau published Le Tarot de Marseille, a concise yet influential book offering symbolic interpretations for all 78 cards. His structured, color- and number-based approach helped define 20th-century French tarot reading and influenced later figures such as Alejandro Jodorowsky.

I am more than amazed by the overall quality provided by this company. The package arrived way sooner than expected and the book was in top condition! Excellent pachaging! I also received as a gift a copy of the Jean Noblet Trumps and was realy amazed, not to mention the production quality. The moment you open the pack you can feel that is is cut from a different cloth than other decks. Thank you so much! I will definately be ordering again!!!

I'm happy with my purchase. The book arrived very quickly and it came with a deck of the Jean Noblet major arcanas, which was a nice surprise. The book itself is very thorough and systematic in the interpretation of the cards with many interesting details despite the fact that it focuses a lot on colors which are specific to the deck analyzed in the book. It's a good reference to have to expand my understanding of the tarot.

Very excited to receive this translation from 1949. It arrived well-protected in bubble wrap, and arrived quickly. It is a booke I will compare to those of Jodorowski, Yoav Ben Dov and other masters of Marseille.
