Mlle. Lenormand read with playing cards, and later, Etteilla Tarot.
This deck appeared shortly after her death and was attibuted to her as a sales gimmick. You'll find most 19th century decks attributed to either "Mllle. Lenormand" or "Gypsies". Sometimes both. :lol:
It's a wonderful deck, though, and it doesn't pussyfoot around when there's bad news to deliver. My only objection to it is the anti-semitism in one of the small illustrations. In order to be able to read with these publicly, I've been looking for a Revival Lenormand, which is a redrawn Grand Jeu. Can't seem to find one, has it gone OOP already?
