EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Valet de Deniers: A Medieval Page in Tarot's Marseille Tradition" This evocative image showcases the Valet de Deniers, or Page of Coins, from the rich and historic Marseille Tarot deck. The Valet, also known as the Knave or Jack of Coins, is a significant figure in the Minor Arcana of the Tarot, symbolizing material wealth, abundance, and resourcefulness. The Page is depicted in a striking medieval costume, donning a short, fitted doublet with intricate embroidery and a wide, brimmed hat adorned with coins. The hose, or tight-fitting stockings, are held up by a decorative belt, while the dexterous hand of the Page clutches a single coin, symbolizing his connection to the material world and his ability to manage wealth. The Valet de Deniers hails from the Marseille Tarot tradition, which originated in the late 16th or early 17th century in the southern French city of Marseille. This tradition is renowned for its distinctive, bold, and intricate designs, which have influenced numerous Tarot decks throughout history. The Page's costume is reminiscent of the fashionable attire of the medieval period, with its emphasis on luxury and opulence. The doublet, a staple of medieval clothing, was often made of expensive fabrics such as velvet, damask, or satin, and was adorned with intricate embroidery, lace, or fringes. The hats, or coifs, were typically made of wool or linen and were often embellished with ribbons, flowers, or coins. The Valet de Deniers stands as a testament to the rich history and symbolism of the Tarot, and continues to captivate and inspire those who seek insight and understanding into the mysteries of the human experience. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time of enchantment, wonder, and the power of the Tarot.
