This is the Victoria Regina Tarot deck by Sarah Ovenall and its book, Victoria Regina Tarot Companion, by Georg Patterson and Sarah Ovenall. The paperback book is a First Edition, second printing, from 2002. Both deck and book have been gently and lovingly used. The deck is complete, and the 78 cards are in wonderful shape – no bends, no creases, no rips or tears, no marks. The book has wear to the covers especially the corners, and a few page corners inside have mild edge creases, but is in otherwise very good vintage condition, with a tight and square binding and clean and bright pages. This is a lovely set of a rare OOP deck and its guidebook.

This is from the back cover of the book:

Long Live the Queen! The Victorian era ushered in the modern Industrial age. Railroads, electric light bulbs, typewriters, the telegraph . .. all were Victorian inventions. Along with such technological progress came a taste for lavish clothing, elaborate household decorations, and intricate architecture. The unique collage art of the Victoria Regina Tarot captures both the industrious ingenuity and elegant opulence of Queen Victoria\'s reign.

The Victoria Regina Tarot Companion is an in-depth guide to this intriguing and intricate Tarot deck. This illustrated companion includes an explanation of the symbolism of each card as well as an exploration of its historical context.

Tarot novices and aficionados alike will enjoy the three Tarot spreads created especially for this deck, including the Victoria\'s Sceptre spread designed for creative endeavors, and the Victoria\'s Chalice spread for questions of an emotional nature. Tarot collectors and lovers of all things Victorian will treasure the artistic and spiritual insights provided in this glimpse of times gone by.
