The Grand Etteilla Tarot Deck was first produced in Paris in the 18th century by "Etteilla", the pseudonym of Jean-Baptiste Alliette (28 August 1738 - 12 December 1791). He was the first French occultist to popularize tarot to a wide audience. Etteilla published his ideas of the correspondences between the tarot, astrology, and the four classical elements and four humors, and was the first to issue a revised tarot deck specifically designed for esoteric purposes.

This deck is comprised of 78 cards: the normal 22 major arcana and 56 minor arcana (with French names). Along with the deck comes a two piece box and a guide booklet.
