The "MIIKE-CONVER" Cards
Hello all
The other day I visited Miike Museum again and
investigated the TdM cards I posted about before.
They kindly let me see, touch and feel the cards
to my content .
(Just imagine how happy I was!
I could also examine TdB by Blanche
and 19th-century Milanese Tarocchi.)
As for the TdM cards:
There were 9 cards in total: 8 trumps (I, VIIII, X, XIII,
XIIII, XVI, XVII, XVIII) and THE ACE OF CUPS.
The size of the cards was 121 X 64mm.
It seemed to me that a card consisted of 4 (or maybe 3)
sheets of paper glued together, each of which was rather thin.
(I could see the sheets have come off one another
at the corner of the cards.)
Miike Museum allowed me to take picture of the cards
and also show them to other people, but only PRIVATELY.
So if anyone of you is interested, please let me know.
Then I'll give you the URLs for the pictures.
Are these cards by Conver or anyone else?
Your posting impressions or opinions here is welcome.
Thank you.
