A excellent work of Tarot artistry, this is one of the supreme prints being offered by U.S. Games Systems. Original in its design, one of a kind in its peculiarity, the Russian Tarot of St. Petersburg provides what it advertises, a view into Russian existence, and the history of its culture. Unique miniature details mimic the popular pattern of Russian art that has been in vogue throughout all of her history, the icon. Iconopis, or religious painting, originally borrowed from the forms of the Byzantine church, customarily decorates Russian religious life, from paintings to churches. These cards present the Russian tradition of Icon painting in a brilliance and color that contains in their 78 cards the wealthy, beauty, and memory of the grandiose Russian lineage and heritage. A card to read the fortune of these cards is undeniably the heirophant, as the Pope is named in the Major Arcana series of these cards. Onion domes appear in the painted window frames that adorn neatly almost every card, and the rooms that the characters of the Russian Tarot of St. Petersburg occupy seem 3-dimensional in their aspect, and surreal in their presentation. I assure, until they are held in hand and seem up close and personally, their richness will not have shown how outstanding Yuri Shakov\'s artistic success, as well as the U.S. Games Systems manufacture, really is so far as concerns these cards. Like them or dislike them, the Russian Tarot of St. Petersburg will not disappoint, and will not fail to impress. The complete collection of cards are here offered, all in excellent condition (see condition description and photographs).
