Copyright: A. G. Muller
| Tarot of Northern Shadows published by A. G.
Muller, 1998 in sets of cards designed by the artist
Sylvia Gainsford & accompanying book by Howard
Rodway. Signed set £22.00. Following the success of
"The Old Path"; the publishers contracted the
artist & author to produce a second Tarot. The
Northern Shadows embodies the Welsh Pembrokeshire
landscape where the artist & her husband Leon Olin
live. Historically this West Wales coast is a mixture of
Celt & Norse, with a fine tradition of legends such
as the medieval tales in "The Mabinogion". The un-spoilt rugged landscape features ancient stone structures & castles, some of which are depicted in this Tarot. Sylvia has also included portraits of her friends in the Royal cards, & some traditional festivals & crafts. Tarot represents different aspects of life & people. The illustrated book gives details of the cards, & their reading, also the locations of the landscape featured. It is possible to use it as a theme for a holiday in Wales. The original 78 paintings are in acrylic, each measuring 7.5 x 4.75 inches, un-mounted, with a reserve price of £7000.00. Please contact the artist with questions regarding potential purchase. ........ Tarot of Northern Shadows set ISBN 3-905219-26-3 General enquiries: Tel. (01348) 891679 |
