ANTIQUE TAROTS/ GERMAN COURT CARDS COLLECTION

Stuttgart playing cards, ca. 1430 .Graphic Design and digital elaboration by Bulgan Lumini . 49 of the originally 52 cards of this very early handpainted deck survive today.The set of suits is unique to this deck, and all four relate to the royal hunt: ducks, falcons, hounds and harts. The former two each consists of pip cards from one to nine, a banner ten, Unter, Ober and King. The latter two have the same structure, but all court cards are female, meaning that they have queens, but that these have ranks equivalent to the kings of the former two suits.
