Hi Huck, no, I'm not that good; :D I think they are the 23 Rosenthal cards; however, they seem really false, as indeed assumed in Tarot encyclopedia V.1 These photos have been posted on Facebook by Ferol Humphrey; for the record, the hands in the photo are by Stuart Kaplan.

Well, 10 years later a color photo finally came out! https://scontent-mxp1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/16797814_10154310628457227_7685236099069725933_o.jpg?_nc_cat=105&ccb=3&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=tGNyI96TJaAAX-1m2OP&_nc_ht=scontent-mxp1-1.xx&oh=bf994ce2d77bab729d9f3e3afdce17b6&...

Yes, with Star-Moon-Sun beeing 16-17-18 I'd expect 21 on World, too. :) Fact is on Sun I see 19, a possible 6 close to the tackhole on Star- but it may be the nail halo (?) - and I see nothing on the Moon. I mean, with Chariot beeing 10 ( you said: I don't see the 10 on Este card :) ) and Temperance...

http://a-tarot.eu/p/jan-10/este/21-world.jpg Are you sure it is a 21? It's possible it is a 20, with zero partially cancelled? In Este Temperanza, over the tackhole I see the upper part of a 7. :-B About the Appeso, I remember many printed decks with the Appeso upside-down; this is the first I've f...

Thank you very much for you time and patience, Huck, :) while digging in the forum archive I understand there are many new informations discovered in the last few years; I have to study very hard to fill the gap... About the Fool as florentine virtue, my concern is about the image, not the astract a...

I dont think the Star is instead of the Tower. The meanings are different. But the Star is not necessary. His meaning can be displayed on other cards... like the moon. Off course I'm not pretending the Tower should get the meaning of the Star! :) I only say it's difficoult for me to accept the pres...

Ah, I understand ... yeah, this c. 1980 was early, and before Trionfi.com's time, which goes back to some research in May 1989. Occasionally we meet somebody, who had independently a similar idea about it, the earliest we know of is Roland Decker. :D Well, for sure I'm not pretending my ownership o...

Thank you for the reply, Huck. :) I have to read carefully your post and think about it, just a short note for now: it looks self evident to me - regardless for who, when and why painted the 6 new cards - from the moment I knew 6 cards were painted later, which is about 30 years ago Language barrier...

Well, I'm back from the page on trionfi.com about the Visconti snake and I have two questions for Huck: - I agree the snake may be a replacement for the Devil, (actually, it is the main reason I'm interested in this card) but I get lost when you assign to the "Ur-Tarot" the numbers of the ...

Yes I agree, it is very possible the snake is blue, like in many heraldic images, or some cards in the CY deck, for instance the ace of coins, lover, etc.... OK, let's make a rought try with blu and green... (Well, I'm not so good with Paint Shop, I suspect I may get better results repainting the sn...
