My thing is facsimile and restored reproductions of obscure decks that haven't seen publication for 100 or more years. I have been working on another reproduction of a rare, old oracle deck, Teuila Fortune Telling Cards, from 1899. This deck of 45 cards came with full instructions and a reading style that resembles Lenormand. The original creator used them to tell fortunes at the palace of Hawaiian King Kalakaua in the early 1880s. She later moved to Samoa where the natives there named her Teuila. Here are a few of her cards.

What a fun looking deck!

The image you posted seems to have "broken" , so I went to the link and snagged this screen shot:


The story behind these cards (seen at the website) is really charming.

These are really beautiful cards, and they read so well. I have this deck and I find it be very straightforward and accurate. Imo, the simplicity of the art and the "clean" look of the cards really contributes to the clarity of the readings.

I HIGHLY recommend this deck to anyone interested in reading oracle cards.
