🪶 Collector's Note

The Oracle Belline occupies a unique place in the history of French cartomancy. Originally inspired by the work of the 19th-century seer Edmond, the deck was revived in the twentieth century by Belline and rapidly became one of the most influential oracle systems in Europe.

Uncut production sheets such as this were never intended for regular retail sale. They were used during the printing process as printer's proofs, production references, or factory samples. As a result, far fewer sheets survive than the decks themselves.

This 1979 Grimaud sheet offers a rare glimpse behind the scenes of the manufacturing process and showcases the entire Oracle Belline in its original printing arrangement. Both historically significant and visually striking, it represents a remarkable piece of French occult publishing history.

A rare opportunity to acquire a genuine Grimaud production artifact from one of the most iconic oracle decks ever created.

An exceptionally rare original uncut printing sheet of the Grand Jeu de Mlle Lenormand published by Dusserre(1990), reproducing the famous 1845 edition.
Printed as a complete press sheet before cutting, this piece shows all 78 cards in their untouched matrix — including colour bars, crop marks, and production annotations, making it a true artifact of historical printing techniques.

The sheet measures a monumental 100 × 65 cm, with the front showing the full oracle imagery and the reverse displaying the traditional blue ornamental back pattern.

A museum-worthy treasure for Lenormand collectors, antique card historians, or anyone seeking an exceptional display piece.
Extremely hard to find — especially in perfect uncut form.

🪶 Collector’s Note

Uncut sheets of Lenormand decks are extraordinarily scarce, and Dusserre’s editions have become highly sought after since the company ceased producing them.
This sheet is both a printing relic and a work of art, capturing the 19th-century iconography in its purest state — before any card was ever separated.

Collectors prize such sheets for framing, archival preservation, or as centerpiece items in a cartomancy collection.
A true once-in-a-lifetime acquisition for enthusiasts of Lenormand history.
