le pendu
I was looking through images on the Bibliothèque nationale de France site, and came across a very interesting TdM mold.
This is what the site says about it (In French):
The first thing that strikes me is that the cards are an interesting mix of "TdM I" and "TdM II". Most of the time, they look very similar to the Dodal, but now and then I notice similarities to the Conver. Where it gets interesting is that sometimes, the images seem clearer to me than either of them; and that's rather interesting.
Now, some of the details show what I would call an "Italian" origin. These are subtle details that I've noticed on decks like the Drago Tarot.
I find the similarities and differences very fascinating, and I hope you will to.
I'll post some images for comparison.

Unfortunately, I can't find a higher res version, so had to blow it up in photoshop to really get a look at it. I wish I had a better version to work with; but even starting with this there are some very interesting details to notice.cote cliché:RC-A-47517
