Italian renaissance woodcut playing cards

Block C3

The single preserved fragment is uncoloured.

Note that the top half is a mirrored version of the bottom half. This means that there are three slightly different designs of each of the four tens, each of which appears once the right way and once reversed. Only in the suit of bastoni does this make a real difference. The mirror image copies are close enough that for the purposes of marking the completeness of the designs in the table below, I have included what is covered by each design’s mirrored counterpart.
