That author's conclusion is that the the deck is much like the artist himself--a blend of Dali's surrealism and classical tastes. The images are borrowed from others mostly. What else is there to say, as to how this deck is "non traditional" it always depends on how you judge that. Dali's trumps & suits are labelled much like the ones in many other popular ones, such as Marseilles, Waite, Case and Thoth. -- Skill without imagination is craftsmanship and gives us many useful objects such as wickerwork picnic baskets.
