Hi Ross,

Your graph and and accompanying discussion are really great—good solid information and thoughtful analysis. Thank you.

Thanks, Robert, for validating my presence here.

Just an aside regarding the yellow sun: I have always wondered if the later version of the sun having multi-colored rays came about because of Newton's experiments at Cambridge in 1665 which revealed the multi-colored wavelengths of light.

Thank you, Robert. Unfortunately I have yet to order that deck. I look forward to doing so and reading the booklet that you mention. I do have the earlier hand-printed majors and some information including the verse on color that Jean Claude published a while back. I don't however, remember anything...

If this is true, instead of posting our narratives, is there some way that they can be kept undercover by Rober...

You know, Prudence, I'm now wondering if I read about that theory on the Flornoy site rather than from your post because they mention the confinement of card makers. Shame on me for not remembering where I read that. I have the hand colored Noblet majors but have not yet ordered the full deck. I rea...
