RARE Jester’s Tarot • Beth Seilonen • 2009 Archival Artist Printing • Handmade Signed Deck • Cat’s Eye • Limited Edition #9/75
This rare 2009 archival artist‑printed tarot deck is offered by Rainbow Bird, a long‑time collector and caretaker of rare and special tarot decks. Rainbow Bird’s private collection is known for preserving unique, artist‑made works, and this Beth Seilonen creation is one of the most distinctive pieces to emerge from that archive.
Created as part of Seilonen’s Cat’s Eye Tarot Collection, this deck features a hand‑drawn, hand‑lettered, and hand‑signed box cover — an original piece of artwork from the artist herself. Each card carries Seilonen’s “9/75” limited‑edition mark, identifying this deck as Edition #9 of only 75 copies produced. A separate card inside the deck confirms the production date as May 2009, noting “archival printing by the artist” at Cat’s Eye Gallery in Calais, Maine. This is an artist‑made artifact, not a mass‑market deck and not a later reprint.
