EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a set of Tarot cards from the early 19th century. The Cards from a Tarot set, c. 1809, are beautifully hand-colored lithographs that have been preserved in a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. Tarot cards have long been associated with mysticism and fortune-telling, and this image transports us back to an era when such practices were deeply ingrained in society. Each card holds its own symbolic meaning, offering glimpses into the past, present, and future. The intricate details of these cards reveal elements of superstition and pagan beliefs prevalent during that time. From the powerful Empress representing fertility and abundance to the prophetic Lovers symbolizing love and harmony, each card carries its own significance. As we gaze at this mesmerizing print, it is impossible not to be drawn into the world of divination and foretelling. These ancient oracle tools were once consulted by those seeking guidance or attempting to unravel life's mysteries. The sun shines brightly in one particular card—a symbol of enlightenment and positivity—while other engravings depict various figures embodying different aspects of human existence. This print serves as a reminder of our fascination with the unknown and our desire for insight into what lies ahead. It captures both the artistry behind these tarot cards' creation as well as their enduring power to captivate generations with their mystical allure.
