This is an original Wooden Tarot Deck fashioned by a true old world artisan and based on the artwork of
the timeless master artist, John William Waterhouse (1849-1917). Waterhouse created all of the fantastic masterpieces
on which this series is based around the turn of the century. Being a true lover of both women and fantasy themes, he has
created an entire world of beathtaking images that will delight art lovers and endure for centuries.
Some of the unforgettable illustrations in this deck include: Circle (the sorceress) with Ulysses, Ophelia
from Hamlet, the legendary Sirens luring their prey with song, the Lady of Shallot, the Danaides, Apollo and Daphne, Jason
and the witch, Medea, the Magic Circle, the Crystal Ball and many more! Many of these amazing images are derived from Greek
Mythology and other timeless tales of literature. All fantasy lovers will find their story somewhere in a Waterhouse
creation.
Each tarot set is painstakingly made by hand. No two are ever exactly alike. In the past, even used decks of
this style received considerable interest from tarot enthusiasts. However, this Limited Edition deck is from a series of only
100 and is offered here brand new and unused. This deck comes directly from the maker with a matching Waterhouse-themed box
and a Certificate of Authenticity.
Both the box AND the cards of this amazing Tarot Set are made from wood, not cardboard. This full 78-card tarot deck has been crafted in the same old world style as the masters with the highest quality wood for maximum durability as a working tool as well as an heirloom item.
This remarkable tarot deck is perfect for anyone passionate about reading the tarot. It is also ideal for
lovers of original Waterhouse collectibles.
Your Order Includes: 1 78-card wooden tarot deck (major and minor arcanas) with the original Waterhouse theme AND 1 matching tarot box designed to safely store all the unique cards inside.
The box has an image of a beautiful young woman gazing into the depths of a crystal ball. The caption on
the box reads: "Waterhouse Tarot".
The edges of the cards are trimmed in METALLIC GOLD. The edging stands out well against the rich dark wood
finish found on the backs of each of the cards.
