New Palladini Tarot

The New Palladini Tarot is the third tarot deck by the artist and illustrator David Palladini (1946–2019). Like his previous Aquarian Tarot it is a full 78 card deck, and once again follows the card order and imagery of the Rider Waite Smith deck. It was published by U.S. Games Inc., in 1996, some 26 years after the very successful Aquarian tarot, and just like that deck, remains in print to this day. The images hark back to an older era of illustration, while at the same time demonstrate a futuristic development in style that still remains instantly recognisable as Palladini's work  more►

This example is from the first printing of the deck, bearing the Emperor on the front of the tuck box, and the High Priestess on the reverse. (current printings have the High Priestess on the front). See the box►
