🪶 Collector’s Note

The Tarot des Imagiers du Moyen Âge remains one of the most respected symbolic tarots linked to Wirth’s teachings. Robert Laffont printings are now considered collectible, as they were never reprinted in this exact format. Complete, clean copies are scarce on the market. A must-have for those who appreciate esoteric tarots rooted in Western tradition.
