About the Author
Jean-Jacques Grandville, born Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard, was a prominent French caricaturist and illustrator whose work in the early 19th century became associated with the Lenormand tradition. His fantastical and anthropomorphic style brought the mystical world of divination to life in new ways, leaving a lasting impact on the visual aesthetics of tarot and oracle cards. Although Grandville did not originally create the Lenormand deck, his artwork has become synonymous with the deck’s symbolic imagery.
