B.P. Grimaud / Chartier-Marteau & Boudin — Rare French–English Fortune-Telling Deck**
A superb and extremely rare bilingual (French & English) divination deck printed by B.P. Grimaud and published by Chartier-Marteau & Boudin, Paris, circa 1900.
This early Livre du Destin edition is one of the most sought-after historical fortune-telling decks, preserved here with 32 beautifully lithographed cards + the white consultant card, all with their original Scottish plaid back.
Each card features a charming hand-tinted illustration with dual titles (“Un Homme de Loi / A Man of Law”, “L’Amour / Love”, “Maladie / Illness”, etc.).
Card No. 16 still bears its original French tax stamp, confirming its authenticity and era.
The deck is housed in its original box, showing signs of age and handling, yet still full of charm — a perfect piece for collectors of antique cartomancy.
