Excellent Condition. Never Used.

The Egorov Tarot is a self-titled Tarot from Russian artist, Alexander Egorov, and published in Austria in 1992 by Piatnik. The card imagery is Rider-Waite-styled and they have titles in English, German and French. Alexandre Egorov (Russian: Алекса́ндр Егоров ; born 31 December 1954, Saint Petersburg,Russia) is a Russian painter and Haiku poet.

All the Egorov cards have a gold-coloured border, within which is the card image, Majors and Coins are essentially set against a black background, Wands are against dark red, Cups on dark green, and Swords on a blue-black. Each suit also has a dominant colour theme for the actual images: blue and green within Swords, pink/reds/brown within Wands, greens/light blue within Cups, and orange, tan, and brown within Coins. Each colour scheme contrasts nicely with the dark background of the cards. The Majors have no particular colour scheme, but tend toward bold and deep shades. The card backs are fully reversable, featuring a mirror-image bird cameo design in plain gold on a black field. The overall effect is rather exotic. Cards names and designations are given in three languages: English most prominently, as well as German and French. Sadly, no Russian titles are given. Each suit card does however bear the appropriate number of its suit's symbols. There are a few name changes in the Major Arcana: the High Priestess is rendered as "the Science", the Empress is "Fertility", the Emperor is "Man of Knowledge", the Hierophant is "Inspiration", and so on for almost half of them. One of the more interesting is Major XIV rendered as "Sun Genius". It is not clear why these changes were made, but it really doesn't affect the reading of the cards, so there is no point in getting unduly concerned by it. There are a few other changes or additions to images. The lovely Fool card (numbered XXI here) includes both a dog behind the man, and a "crocodile" in front of him. This is certainly "double jeopardy"! Boats are featured on several Sword cards, including 6, 7, and 10.
