This is one of five distinct Tarot de Marseille designs based on the historic Jean Noblet deck (c.1650). Each version offers a different artistic interpretation. This deck is my original 78-card Tarot de Marseille, created in a Colourful Grunge style.
This deck, available in three sizes, preserves the structure and symbolic integrity of one of the earliest surviving Tarot de Marseille traditions, while reinterpreting it through expressive, modern artwork to create a striking, visual reading experience. Please note: there is no guidebook with this deck.
Optional custom card back designs are available, allowing you to choose a finish that best suits your personal style or practice.

I’ve created five distinct artistic interpretations of the historic Jean Noblet Tarot de Marseille (c.1650), each with its own personality and visual atmosphere. This particular version, my first TdM deck, is my Colourful Grunge Edition—a vibrant, expressive reimagining of the original 78‑card deck. If you’d like to explore the other styles, you can view them here.
The earliest known version of the Marseille Tarot was created in Paris around 1650 by the master card‑maker Jean Noblet. His deck stands out for several unusual features, including the XIII card, which is titled LAMORT (Death). Most later Marseille decks, such as those by Jean Dodal (c.1701) and Nicolas Conver (c.1761), leave this card unnamed. The Noblet deck also includes a famously detailed Fool card, complete with anatomical features that were softened or removed in other versions. On other decks, the consensus about the animal nipping at the Fool, was that it was hard to tell if the animal was a cat or dog. However, on this deck, it is interpreted as more feline than canine, adding to the deck’s distinctive character. Another hallmark of the original Noblet is its unusually small size, which sets it apart from later Marseille editions.
My goal with this recreation is to bring that history back to life in a way that feels vivid and engaging for modern readers. If you’re someone who appreciates the lineage of tarot—whether as a reader, collector, or historian—this deck may resonate with you. I chose bright, expressive colours to give the cards a bold presence, while preserving the authenticity of the original imagery down to the smallest details. The artwork has been recreated in today’s standard tarot dimensions for ease of use, and you can view the full gallery above. I would also like to acknowledge and thank the Flornoy estate for granting me permission to use the Letarot Noblet images as the foundation for this artistic reinterpretation.
I have also created different designs of the Grimaud/Fornier Tarot de Marseille which you may be interested in. You can see all my creations here.
