36 card Jeu Lenormand deck in French with instructions (only in French), made by Carta Mundi in Belgium.
"Marie Anne Adelaide Lenormand (1772–1843) was a French professional fortune-teller of considerable fame during the Napoleonic era. In France, Lenormand is considered the greatest cartomancer of all time, highly influential on the wave of French cartomancy that began in the late 18th century. Lenormand claimed to have given cartomantic advice to many famous persons, among them leaders of the French revolution (Marat, Robespierre and St-Just), Empress Josephine and Tsar Alexander I. She was active for more than 40 years. After Lenormand's death her name was used on several cartomancy decks including a deck of 36 illustrated cards known as the Petit Lenormand, or simply Lenormand, cards that are still used extensively today.
The cards measure 3.5" x 2.25". The deck and the instructions are in good condition. The box does have considerable wear, though. Do examine the photos carefully and let me know if you require more as I'll be happy to oblige.
Thank you for looking.
