Hi Michele comme ça va ?,

Joseph Chafard 1747 deck has same back.
Jean Payen 1743 deck also.
François Bourlion 1768 also

Backs are a good way to date but only an expert as let's say Depaulis could trace all decks (he is expert in TAJAN Paris auctioner and has a long experience).

Sésame, ouvre-toi !!!
-Yves,Yves,Yves...
-Le petit tres diable !
-Ça va bien,et toi ?
-It s seems that you were very,very busy with the images of Romanesque Art in La France that I sent you by e mail,that you never answer to me petit diable...
Which you liked more,the front of the back of the figures of those Abbeys ?

1-Well thanks for your information.
Evidently back cards is not a good way ...
2-Do you know web sites where I can see closest Joseph Chafard and François Bourlion decks ?

-Well here Madmoiselles et Monsieurs a Portrait of Monsieur Yves Les Marseilles eating the amazing "tons" of Romanesque Art in France I sent to him ...

PS . Don t be lazy,just replay 1 e mail mon ami...

Dear Michele,

Yes I was rahter busy but not with your Sacred Images that anyway I examinated carefully

I would say that I vote for backs rather than front of this pretty things.

To go back to... backs of cards, I still think that it is possible to date with this information. But it is a long work and it need to compile a lot of various decks from various €uropeen countrys minimum.
Personnaly I started to collect automaticly decks 's backs on a specific file of my computer. Just in case.

I laughed when I saw myself eating like..Hell but my Scorpio side agree with this idea. Miam

About Bourlion and Chafard, I planned to expose them in future but I need to get authorisations, build up web site and so on...

Patience

May be somebody has already some materials ?

Salute

Mon ami,

I think we are dangerously going out the topic in spite my efforts

So, I have to resist to all your Macho weapons and as I am a French, it is hard not to reply.

I will ask to my Sicilian Colleague Rocco S.....i to put all his arguments "on the table" as to calm your warm intern temperature

Hasta la temperatura augmentatada mucho !!

Best

Yves "canicule" 8-)

Caro Amicci Yves...
-Io capisco veramente quello che tu dicendo paesano...

-But here my good comrades I want you all see what happened when Yves went to Corleone Sicily to see his amicci Rocco S.

I will return to the topic then.Its just a break ...

That's really interesting information.

Chafard and Payen are both Tarot de Marseille I type decks, I don't know about Bourlion.

Is it unusual that Chosson has a back that we see popular in the mid 1700s? Does this add weight to his deck being from the 1700s?

Hello Robert,

François Bourlion acted as card maker from 1753 to 1770 in Marseille France. He has a son who followed his way.
BnF web site for exemples of cards.

About Chosson, at this stage, I can't say that this precise back design automaticly connect him to this period: A backs design chronology is missing for the moment.

another job to do again...

Any Tarot fanatik interested for it

Yves

Thanks Yves!

The Bourlion is a Tarot de Marseille II.

Excuse me Robert...
But I must be honest here.
Do you remember when you on a sarcastic way you "push" JMD about the topic about Tarot de Marseille 1/2/3/4/5/ ad eternum ?

-So now you found that is Tarot de Marseille ...

-Please Robert. / You doing classifications ?
