Pack of 36 German fortune telling cards of 'Le Normand' type, in a cardboard container. Marie Anne Adelaide Lenormand (1772 – 1843) was a French professional fortune-teller. The 36-card Lenormand deck is named after her, and is modelled on a deck of cards published in circa 1799 as part of Das Spiel der Hoffnung (The Game of Hope), a game of chance designed by Johann Kaspar Hechtel of Nuremberg.
