With 1750 engravings.

FACTS:

• Very little is known about her last days, but census offers us that she had a "bookshop" in Paris selling books in Paris after the Napoleon era was harmless.

• Lenormand had a shingle as a bookseller and Etteilla as a mathematician - this was for the purposes of officialdom. On paper, these were their census occupations.

MORE FACTS:

• Divination was not well respected during the decades after the French Revolution. All fortune-tellers used normal playing cards.

• Something interesting is to be found in the title. Both editions mention Napoleon. Lenormand never met Napoleon, only his wife, somewhat proving that shortly after her death, editors started to make her famous name publicly and started to give her more importance that she had in reality.

This is why this document is another important evidence for the outcoming of Lenormand Cards after 1845/46.

• Basic data shows that Lenormand cards are the name of some divination decks produced that appeared after the death of Anne-Marie Lenormand. The popularity was tempting card makers and other authors that wanted to use the well-known name for their own interests.
