This page groups tarot spreads by the period in which each layout was first devised. Wikipedia notes "the emergence of custom decks for use in divination via tarot card reading and cartomancy began after French occultists made elaborate, but unsubstantiated, claims about their history and meaning in the late 18th century." Browsing by origin-period-start-year lets a visitor find every spread first devised in the same period.
