Explore the Steel City through the archetypes of the Major Arcana with The Tarot of Pittsburgh. This 24-card deck includes all 22 numbered Major Arcana cards alongside two information cards covering deck usage and card details.
Every card features dramatic narrative scenes set against Pittsburgh's three rivers, iconic yellow steel bridges, hillside inclines, and industrial brick neighborhoods. The visual style captures 1950s romance and adventure comic illustration with heavy black brush contours, fine cross-hatching, and bold noir chiaroscuro.
Period-dressed figures with expressive faces emerge through authentic Ben-Day halftone dots, slight ink misregistrations, and a worn paper palette of faded scarlet, petrol teal, and mustard yellow. The dramatic vintage comic noir mood breathes vivid emotion and cinematic depth into traditional card meanings.
Each card is designed to evoke intuitive readings, pairing timeless symbolic concepts like beginnings, intuition, and transformation with evocative urban storytelling. It is an inspiring visual deck for tarot and oracle readers drawn to narrative depth and mid-century graphic art.
