1890 Old Italian Tarot Deck Bordoni Milan Italy Gumppenberg 78/78 Cards Rare

Description: Old Italian Milanese Tarot Cards complete 78/78 cards Published by Bordoni & C., Milan, Italy, c. 1890 Worldwide Shipping Card Measurements: 10.8 cm X 5.5 cm DESCRIPTION: This Italian tarot is a late 19th-century example of an "Early Piemontese" pattern manufactured by Bordoni in Milan, with Ferdinando Gumppenberg's mark/initials on the decorated paper versos/backs. This style of Italian tarot is identified and described by the International Playing Cards Society (IPCS) on "Pattern Sheet 3" and has "no recommended name" (formerly IPCS IT-1.1). It was first developed in 18th-century Italy, where it is hypothesized French influence was responsible for tarot's revival of popularity. The cards "were made in the Italian, narrow format, almost invariably with the strengthening turnover edges. The designs depended almost entirely on the Tarot de Marseille (IT-1) but on certain cards the influence of other patterns can be detected, as well as a few features entirely its own" (IPCS Pattern Sheet 3). The 18th century examples of the style, usually kept French captions, however, "(l)ater, interest in playing with such cards seems to have transferred itself to Milan where, until the closing years of the 19th century, the cards were made with Italian captions." The tarot style is identified by the following composition: "78 cards. 4 suits of 4 single-figure court and 10 pip cards, plus 21 single-figure trumps and the Fool which, together with the court cards are captioned in French or Italian. Distinguishing cards: Trump II = Popess; V = Pope; XV, the Devil has furry trousers; XVIII, the Moon shows a full face; XX, "tears" emanate from cloud; the Fool is called "Le Fol" in French-captioned packs, "Il Matto" in Italian ones; the ace of Cups resembles a straight-sided font."
