Tarot de Marseille (Dodal, Lyon, c. 1701) 0
A Tarot de Marseille cut by Jean Dodal in Lyon between 1701 and 1715, and one of the oldest complete Marseille packs to survive. It was printed for export — several cards carry the legend F·P·LE·TRENGE, faict pour l'estranger — and keeps the Popess at II and the Pope at V, with the Marseille order in which Justice is VIII and Strength is XI, the reverse of Rider-Waite-Smith.

Tarot de Marseille (Camoin after Conver, Marseille, c. 1890) 0
A Tarot de Marseille printed by A. Camoin in Marseille between 1890 and 1900 from the pattern Nicolas Conver cut in Marseille in 1760 — the Two of Coins still carries his 1760 imprint. Conver's own printing is the pattern most modern Marseille decks descend from, but no complete set of it has been digitised; this later pull from the same model is the closest complete one that is freely available. It keeps the Marseille order, where Justice is VIII and Strength is XI, the reverse of Rider-Waite-Smith. Scans from the Bibliothèque nationale de France via Wikimedia Commons, public domain.
Tarot de Marseille suisse (Gassmann, Geneva, c. 1860) 0
A Swiss-made Tarot de Marseille from the middle of the nineteenth century, printed by Gassmann, card-maker in Geneva, whose name appears on the Two of Coins. Swiss workshops of this period usually printed the Besançon pattern with Juno and Jupiter; this one keeps the Popess at II and the Pope at V, so it is a true Marseille made in Switzerland. It follows the Marseille order, where Justice is VIII and Strength is XI, the reverse of Rider-Waite-Smith. Scans from the Bibliothèque nationale de France via Wikimedia Commons, public domain.
