EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of Italian and French tarot cards from the 16th century. The chromolitho technique used in this artwork beautifully brings out the vibrant colors and intricate details of these ancient cards.

It offers a glimpse into the leisurely activities enjoyed during that era, highlighting the importance of recreation and entertainment. These tarot cards were not just mere playing cards but held significant cultural and historical value. They provide insights into European history, particularly France and Italy during the 16th century. The game itself was popular across Europe, reflecting its widespread appeal. The composition also includes a map of Europe, emphasizing the continental influence on these card games. It serves as a reminder of how interconnected European countries were even centuries ago.
