Help identify Les tarot of Marseille

1
The British Museum site says the deck was printed in Wels (Austria), 18th century.

I like the simple, a bit childish, lines. The emperor does not have a globus cruciger, and his legs do not form the roman digit 4, but the four of coins does have a globus, as if to say it is the empror's domain.

hi,
I remember you from old tmes .... 20 years ago.

"le emperur" .... possibly this indicates a local dialect.

"laimperatrice"

It looks to me, as if Napoleon was often addressed as "emperur" and Josephine at least in one case as "laimperatrice".

********************

The 2 of coins shows something which looks like WELS ... the S is a little bit strange.

WELS is a location in Austria.

My notes: The most successfull producers were Peter Schachner (Wels) and the Spielkartenfabrik Eurich (founded 1809). Followers of Schachner were Josef Dimler and Heinrich Leeb (both from Wels).

I remember in a vague way a Tarock card, which was in an interesting way ugly, somehow from Austria, mid 18th century, somehow similar to the Emperur. Somehow I've published it here, but this is a djungle.

I can imagine, that some people in Austria would be interested to see these 5 cards. And possibly they have more information about them. Or do you have more than these 5?

I'd written ..

I indeed found this deck ....
https://www.britishmuseum.org/collectio ... 6-0501-197 .... the deck is dated to 1750.
... its not the same, but in some aspects similar.
and a producer (Schober or Schoper) appears on the list of the Wels producers ....

1762 - 1785 Christian Schober aus Neuhaus in Böhmen (but related to Wels)
