All of the court cards have their own individual, uniquely interpreted images, the major arkana is simply sumptuous. I use this deck for professional as well as relaxed and leisurely readings, and find it accurate, versatile and comprehensive.
The 'artwork' on the cards is actually made through a combination of painting, textile work, beading, etc. The lace and materials used to create each piece are painstakingly sourced to create the best sense of texture, and take the time to just get to know the 'art' and the effort that went into making it.
This is an under-rated tarot deck, or at least - a not very well known deck - that really should have have received much more attention. Part of me really likes that I'm one of the few people I know who owns it, but by the same token, I would love to pathwork with these cards with others.
So find yourselves a copy of the deck and the cards, you won't be disappointed.
