A classic deck with new print quality. That is the core of Lustrous Tarot. Illustrator Yuliya Orlova has redrawn the compositions of Pamela Colman Smith with sharper lines and brighter colours, but the symbolism and structure remain unchanged.
The deck is published by Da Brigh. The cards are printed on heavy art paper with a glossy finish. The colours are saturated, the contrasts sharp. It is a reproduction that benefits from modern techniques without altering the original imagery.
The strength lies not in new symbolism, but in execution. Where older prints of the Rider-Waite-Smith deck can look flat or grainy, this deck has digitally enhanced graphics. The colours are vivid without the images becoming garish.
All 78 cards follow the familiar compositions. The Fool stands at the edge of the cliff, the Hanged Man hangs from the tree, the Ten of Swords lies on the ground. You do not need to learn new imagery if you already work with Rider-Waite.
The cards measure 70 x 120 mm, standard tarot size. The card stock is 350 gsm thick, sturdy enough for daily use. The glossy finish protects the images and makes the colours brighter.
This deck is designed for those who want Rider-Waite symbolism without old print quality. You can place any standard tarot book beside it and recognise the meanings directly.
Many people pick up this deck as a replacement for a worn Rider-Waite, or as a second copy with a fresher look. It is not an interpretation, it is a reproduction with better technique.
If you work with multiple decks and sometimes want to return to the basics without having to feel vintage, this deck works well.
Yuliya Orlova is an illustrator who has worked for the gaming industry and book illustrations. She cites Impressionism and Pre-Raphaelite painting as influences. For Lustrous Tarot she has taken the composition and symbolism of Pamela Colman Smith and redrawn it with focus on sharpness and colour.
Does a guidebook come with this deck?
No. The deck follows standard Rider-Waite-Smith symbolism, so you can use any tarot book or online reference based on Rider-Waite.
How does this deck differ from a classic Rider-Waite-Smith deck?
The symbolism and composition are the same. The difference lies in the printing technique: sharper lines, brighter colours and modern graphics. The card stock is thicker and the finish is glossy.
