This is a clip from the Amazon "look inside" of the book Harry Potter: A History of Magic (American Edition).

And, for more serious-minded Marseille lovers, what deck is this?

Ah yes, I saw the reversed Hanged Man. One of my decks has that, the Flamand IIRC.
And yes, LOL. I should find a video of Lee Ann Womack's "I Hope You Dance" and dedicate it to His Orangeness.

I like "The Dancer"! He's dancing a forgotten type of Irish jig in which the dancers are tied to the floor. What it lacks in aesthetic appeal it makes up for in sheer skill!

I'll check Kaplan to see if I see the deck there. I wonder if it's a deck in the British Museum? Since they're the ones who put on the exhibit on which the book is based? Hmm . . .

Driving me crazy now knowing what this deck is. Have been searching now for over an hour !!!

I give up. Like the Hanged Man, I will go and rest now and wait patiently till someone comes along who knows.

I also thought so. I was ready to claim the prize of guessing !

But then I got all sad again, cos the Madenie XIII doesn't have those red spots. https://www.tarot-de-marseille-heritage ... e1709.html

I found loads of XIII that had red spots. But either less or more and not in the same places.

There are often multiple printings of a deck with different color jobs. Look at the Conver.

I tried cheating and doing a reverse image search, but all it turned up was "middle ages". :P

Now that I look more closely, I can see that Le Pendu isn't actually printed upside down (the Flamand IS https://www.pinterest.es/pin/4789297416 ... login=true). I wish the image was higher res. It would be easier to identify the deck if we could see the lines better.
