Play it on recursive.ecoOpen in the card viewer

Uncut sheets of an early Florentine (A-order) tarot, late 15th–early 16th century, in the National Gallery of Art, Washington (the Lessing J. Rosenwald Collection). The NGA's open-access policy places the images firmly in the public domain — austere, woodcut, and genuinely early. A southern (A-order) counterpart to the northern C-order Cary Sheet.

ANCESTRAL STATUS: ancestral to the standard tarot (the Florentine A-order line).
