Tarot Steinberger: Frankfurt ca. 1820 is a faithful reproduction of a rare German tarot deck originally printed around 1820. Comprising 54 cards, the deck was produced using metal engraving and hand-colored through mask painting. The result is a stunning example of 19th-century craftsmanship, now available as a numbered limited edition of 2999 copies.
The original Tarot Steinberger belongs to the German engraving tradition, combining metal etching with mask painting to depict vivid mythological scenes. This reissue by Lo Scarabeo carefully restores the deck’s historic charm and detail. The imagery reflects classical symbolism rendered with refined artistry.
Tarot Steinberger: Frankfurt ca. 1820 is ideal for collectors, historians, and tarot readers interested in classical decks. The traditional imagery and symbolism make it perfect for study or display. Its limited print run makes it a valuable collector’s item.
Handle the deck with care and store it in a dry, dark place to preserve color and paper quality. Ideal for study, meditation, or inspiration rather than daily readings.
It’s a historically faithful reproduction of an early 19th-century tarot deck, using traditional engraving and coloring techniques. Each edition reflects fine craftsmanship and cultural heritage.
The 1820 edition follows a classical and figurative style, while the 1970s deck by Gerhard Steinberger adopts a minimalist, geometric, and modern approach. One is historical; the other, conceptual.
They are printed in small quantities, often with higher-quality materials and artisanal methods. Each copy is carefully inspected, reflecting exclusivity and craftsmanship rather than mass production.
Available while stocks last – a rare collector’s gem.
