I recently bought an old fortunetellers book: "Volledige Studie van het Kaartleggen"* by Mevrouw Rabab / exp. Snoecks-Ducaju en Zoon - Gent (Belgium) 1935-40. *("Full Study of Reading the Cards").
In the book is mentionned a deck of 82 (!) Cards: "The Grand Egytian Oracle of Etteilla".
For each card is a discription which is mostly similar to the pictures from 'Le Petit Oracle des Dame's.
I've made a digital copy of all the cards with two sides and reversed them, so I become 72 cards...
I assume that 2 of the 82 cards are for the Questionner and in the Petit Oracle is that one card.
Now I've 9 more discriptions than cards of the Petit Oracle.... What's the source of this deck in the book?
Not the "Le Grand Etteilla Ou Tarots Egyptiens" or "Le Grand Oracle des Dames", because the picture discriptions are different.
Only (6) of the discriptions vary a little from the Petit Oracle:
They speak of a hourglass on card 13 (rev. 'Mortalité') but there is none...
Card 3 - 'Etoiles Brillantes', describes two woman (one standing and one sitting) instead of one in the Petit Oracle.
On card 25 - 'sits a man on a table with his head in his hands', not in the Petit Oracle.
The 9 missing cards (translation from Dutch):
- Union - 5 of Hearts / two farmers on a road
Dangerous Man - Valet of Spades / ? not specific
Slander / two talking woman with birds and a parrot
News / a man on a horse with a bag on his back
Vicious Woman / a rich woman laying on a couch with an undecent (!) book and a rosery. A bird is in front of her.
Tenderness / a young couple stepping in a little boat.
Union and Society / a young couple had a domestic fight but now they become friends again.
Truth - Virgo / 'We see a naked woman in the temple of creation, before man were perverted...'.
Love - 2 of Hearts / We see a woman with flowers around her and a archer in the hand. See has a transparant cloth before her open eyes.
