The Ancien Tarot de Marseille by B.P. Grimaud is one of the most influential decks of the 20th century. In 1930, Paul Marteau reinterpreted the 1760 Tarot de Marseille by Nicolas Conver, giving it vivid colors and slight design changes that set the standard for modern Marseille tarots.

By the late 1960s, Grimaud was still producing this deck in different print runs. The 1969 "Green Box" edition belongs to one of the earliest modern reprints after the Second World War. It reflects the growing interest in tarot during the esoteric revival of the 1960s and 70s, when cartomancy, mysticism, and New Age spirituality were becoming mainstream once again.

Today, the 1969 green-box edition is considered rare and collectible, because later Grimaud decks adopted new packaging designs and different printing styles. Owning this deck means holding a bridge between the classical 18th-century Marseille imagery and the modern tarot revival that spread internationally during the second half of the 20th century.
