The number three and LL Bateleur (Noblet)
Virtually as soon as I received the Noblet Majors I noticed the amount of 'threes' in the Bateleur card.
Have a look for yourself, it's a kind of 'spot the threes' game.
I only know of two people with three fingers and an thumb, one being my daughter's best friend and the other being Mickey Mouse. so I thought I would do some Googling and came up with all manner of things which varied from the number three representing the Holy Trinity (of course), to childbirth to sexual symbols and the penis. Baring in mind the review and interview about the Flornoy's Noblet deck, which I read a few days ago, I found this quite interesting.

So was Noblet indeed 'giving the fingers' to the establishment with his portrayal of Le Bateleur?
