- Here is a side-by-side comparison of a deck recreation by @ArtisanTarot and a facsimile deck by Yves Renaud.
Krisztin Kondor replied to this video explaining the differences between the two decks and although her reply is in the comments section, I'm including it here also so more people see it:

Hi Marilyn! Thank you for this comparison video. 😊 I have a few things that I noticed about the colouring. We used two versions of the original deck from the National Library of France as reference. As you mentioned at the beginning of your video, the same woodblocks were used for those two decks and the one that you show in the video. Although I noticed that the stenciling is not the same, so some colours may be different. For example, the blue droplets on the Sun and Judgement weren't coloured on the originals that we used, so I made them yellow. On yours, they are blue. On the King of Cups, the ground doesn't have any blue either. There are also differences on the Ace of Coins, Page of Cups (bottom part of his dress) and many others. On card 13 (on the versions that we used) the grassy areas are green, except one which is yellow. I think originally all of them meant to be yellow (like on your version). I can tell because the stenciling is not precisely made, they just made the whole ground area yellow. They do this when there are many small areas that have to be the same colour. Instead of doing it one by one, most of the time they colour the whole surrounding area knowing that the black ink from the woodblock will cover what wasn't meant to be yellow. On yours, the grass was stenciled separately. How interesting! 🤔 On the two decks that we used, the black is not as strong as on your version, so the yellow peaks through. That's the reason why I added that yellow gradient on the ground. It might hold a meaning for some people (for me too), so I wanted to keep it. 😊 You mentioned the tiles on the King of Coins and Cups. I love these extra details too. Also on the Queen of Batons, the texture and fuzziness of her hair and fur cape is one of my favourites. Same on the legs of the Devil. I always appreciate it when I see any pattern or texture on these cards. It shows that they put that extra time into carving it. ❤️

Hello Krisztin! Thank you for this great description of these details. If I can copy and paste your response, I will put it in my description box so everyone sees it!
@@MarilynFromTarotClarity Thank you, that's very kind of you 😊
You're the kind one for sharing this information. My goal is to always correct or add to the discussion with these wonderful historic decks. Most of my comments are based on my own observations and there's a reason for these differences that I hadn't discussed so in the interest of accuracy, it's important to share your information. Your Jerger is very well done, keeping the essence of the original alive. Did you see the video I did of your Jerger by itself? What you did with the swords and batons is stunning, though I can imagine critics might not appreciate it. But I like the artistic license you took. Every printer took artistic license with a deck. It is cool to see how you envisioned it could be in those cards. Thank you for watching my videos and sharing your wonderful decks with us. They fill an important niche with historic decks especially. Did you guys change the cards stock for this deck? It riffles like butter. What a mellow sound it has!
@@MarilynFromTarotClarity Thank you ☺ Yes, I watched your other video too. I think it's hard to find the balance between refining the images and keeping the essence of the original cards. We are learning a lot on the way, trying out new things and curious to hear the feedbacks.
We started to work with a different printer, so Besancon is our first historic deck which might feel a bit different when you shuffle it. I am amazed that you noticed it. 😄 A real card lover!
Oh, I pay attention to cardstock for sure. It riffles almost silently. Very nice. @@krisztinkondor
thank you so much, love this comparison! ❤
Awesome. Stay tuned! Tomorrow is a movie day!
@@MarilynFromTarotClarityyeeey! cannot wait, thank you for comparing the court cards as well, really useful ❤
