Tarot 1YY
The Tarot 1JJ (also Swiss Tarot called) is a Tarot - Deck , which for Tarockspiele Troccas and Troggu and for divination purposes is needed.
history
The deck of cards emerged from the Besançon tarot , a type of tarot deck derived from the Marseille type, and is sometimes assigned to it. The first version was developed between 1831 and 1838 in the map workshop of Johann Georg Rauch . It was the card workshop's first tarot game and had unexpectedly great success on the American market. The first version was published unchanged by the successor Johann Müller until 1860.
In 1965, the Swiss card game company AGMüller published a reprint, which is characterized by cleaner lines. The name also goes back to this edition, whereby "1" is simply a number within a product line and "JJ" refers to the different representation of two trumps by Juno and Jupiter (see below).
Deck of cards
In the Besançon Tarots, instead of the Pope, the Roman goddess Juno and the Roman god Jupiter are shown instead of the Pope . These are the main changes compared to the Marseille Tarot. These two trumps were also taken over into the 1JJ card deck, albeit with different image details. The remaining trumps are largely similar to the Marseille tarot. In addition, there are specific changes compared to the Marseille and Besançon tarot: For example, on the 6th trump card, The Lovers on the Marseille and Besançon decks, an additional woman is depicted and an older man is shown on 1JJ. On the 11th trump card, Die Kraft , in the 1JJ deck, there is no lion tamer, but a tamer who is reminiscent of Heracles . The 15th trump card, The Devil , in contrast to the Besançon deck, does not show two additional demons tied up, but a seated woman holding her face in her hands out of desperation or sadness. The 18th trump card The moon shows two wolves howling at the moon on the Besançon deck. In the foreground, a crab rises out of the water on a path that leads through two towers to the right and left into the background. With the 1JJ card deck, the picture consists of two parts. The lower part shows a crab hanging as a wall decoration between two windows, in the upper picture a young man is shown with his dog, who is playing the mandolin for his lover, who is standing on the balcony and stretching out her hand to him .
Differences in the representation of the trumps II and V between Tarot de Besançon and 1JJ
Tarot de Besancon
Tarot 1YY, 1st version
In the Tarot de Besançon , Juno stands with a robe and points up with his right hand and down with his left hand. A cloth swings loosely around her. One or two peacocks stand at their feet, depending on the edition. In the 1JJ card deck, Juno stands in a robe and wears a crown and looks to the right. She points down with her right hand and holds a walking stick taller than a man in her left hand. Behind her feet is a male peacock.
Tarot de Besancon
Tarot 1YY, later version
In the Tarot de Besançon , Jupiter is represented as a naked man wearing a crown and standing on an eagle. A loose cloth swings around his body and covers the pubic area. He has both arms outstretched and has a couple of lightning bolts in his right and left hand. In the 1JJ card deck, he is also represented as a king. He's just sitting and resting his head on his left clenched hand. He holds a scepter in his left hand and lets it hang down loosely. An eagle is shown in front of his feet in the foreground.
