Looking at various versions of TdM I'd say there are more similarities than Differences in the Trumps...that is to say, they are pretty much made to look like one another in a general sense. You could say they were "clones" of one another and this makes them all TdM.
I'm wondering if there is standard layout for the vines and blossoms across the minors from version to version....obviously they are drawn/etched/engraved by different people..but do the vines grow in similar patterns...
For example, in my 7 of cups (Burdel) there are 3 cups at the top, 3 at the bottom, and 1 in the center. There is a pair of stems that seem to eminate from the center cup on the bottom and wrap/embrace the central cup...then they "fork" as they rise to the top row, and their uppermost leaves sort of flank or frame the central cup in the top row. I'm wondering if that pattern is the the same across all or most of the TdM variants, or is it far from standardized? What about the gemoetric layout of the pips?
