Description:
Published under license from Editorial Kier, Argentina. 22 Majors but the Minors are not divided into Suits, but are numbered Etteilla style and each bears an title, usually of an abstract quality - Evolution, Vehemence, Purification, etc. The versions of this Egyptian deck by Keir vary in their colouring, as they use process colour applied by the graphic artist when making up the printing plates. This version applies areas of metallic bronze ink. These tarot images, created by Jesus Iglesias Janiero initially as line drawings were published in his book 'La Cabala de Prediccion', Buenos Aires, 1955. The images were printed on sheets of cardboard at the back of the book, intended to be cut out and used. Later, in 1971, they were reworked and issued by Editorial Kier as cards with added colour.
