Second item: a rare and complete example of a local Tyrolean pack celebrating the 1809 rebellion and Tyrolean culture. The only related record we have found is a mention by Sylvia Mann (All Cards on the Table, p.93) of a pack she calls 'the Tyrol's struggle for independence'. Mann gives no further details, but it seems possible at least that this may be the same design as the present pack.
* Austrian Tyrol Hunting Tarot.

Michael Dummett (The Game of Tarot, p.466) and the IPCS note that these Tyrol tarot packs are usually found as a reduced 66 card deck (see also Mann, All Cards on the Table #223 and Blass, Talon, Sonderheft 7 "Welli & Co", pp.73-79). It is more unusual to find the complete deck of 78 cards as here, and in this particular example it is interesting to observe that the cards frequently removed from these packs (ace-3 black & 8-10 red) are noticably cleaner, having presumably been less used.

Possibly the last example of this old pattern, from a little-known German maker. Apparently not in Fournier, Mann or Bube Dame König.
