Description:
Robyn Tisch Hollister is a costumier, a mask-maker, and a puppeteer. The idea behind this deck is of the various incidents taking place before a grand masked ball in the few hours before midnight. The cards are supplied in a box which contains an invitation to the masquerade : An Invitation to a Grand Ball. The Air is heavily scented with Mystery, And fairly crackles with festive anticipation Guests begin to arrive to the Villa de Fortuna... One by one they enter through the richly draped thresholds, Past the masked sentries, the musicians gallery, With secret smiles on their lips, And each one is presented to the gathered assemblage By the royal herald... Robyn Tisch Hollister has produced a number of other tarot decks, including The Penguin Parade Tarot, The Minute Tarot, The Chrona Tarot, and the All Hallows Tarot.
