Here is a side-by-side comparison of a deck recreation by @ArtisanTarot and a facsimile deck by Yves Renaud.

Hi Marilyn! Thank you for this comparison video. 😊 I have a few things that I noticed about the colouring. We used two versions of the original deck from the National Library of France as reference. As you mentioned at the beginning of your video, the same woodblocks were used for those two decks and the one that you show in the video. Although I noticed that the stenciling is not the same, so some colours may be different. For example, the blue droplets on the Sun and Judgement weren't coloured on the originals that we used, so I made them yellow. On yours, they are blue. On the King of Cups, the ground doesn't have any blue either. There are also differences on the Ace of Coins, Page of Cups (bottom part of his dress) and many others. On card 13 (on the versions that we used) the grassy areas are green, except one which is yellow. I think originally all of them meant to be yellow (like on your version). I can tell because the stenciling is not precisely made, they just made the whole ground area yellow. They do this when there are many small areas that have to be the same colour. Instead of doing it one by one, most of the time they colour the whole surrounding area knowing that the black ink from the woodblock will cover what wasn't meant to be yellow. On yours, the grass was stenciled separately. How interesting! 🤔 On the two decks that we used, the black is not as strong as on your version, so the yellow peaks through. That's the reason why I added that yellow gradient on the ground. It might hold a meaning for some people (for me too), so I wanted to keep it. 😊 You mentioned the tiles on the King of Coins and Cups. I love these extra details too. Also on the Queen of Batons, the texture and fuzziness of her hair and fur cape is one of my favourites. Same on the legs of the Devil. I always appreciate it when I see any pattern or texture on these cards. It shows that they put that extra time into carving it. ❤️
