Description: c.1960 Lenormand Fortune Telling Cards 36/36 Ferd Piatnik Austria Wien Published by Ferd. Patnik & Sôhne, Wien, Austria, c1960 Worldwide Shipping Deck: Lenormand Wahrsage Karten No. 55 Description: "There is a traditional order for the designs in a standard Lenormand fortune-telling pack, starting with a male rider on card 1. However, in this pack from Piatnik dating from c1960 according to Jensen¹, the order is different, with a man in a top hat and carrying a cane on card 1 – the same image as appears on card 28 in a modern pack. Cards 1 to 4 are the four Aces, followed by the remaining cards in strict order (K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 on cards 5 to 12, etc.), whereas in a modern pack the suits are jumbled up. The maker’s name appears in full on cards 1 and 3, as it does on cards 25 and 28 in a modern pack. The maker’s initials (FPS) appear in the top right-hand corner of every card (as they do in a modern pack), and twice on cards 3 and 18."
