Minchiate (Tarot) Playing Card

A small hand-colored playing card on pale paper shows three yellow-and-red goblet-shaped cups, scattered red dots, and the words 'CARTE FINE' between a pair of cups below. Thin black rules frame the design, and the red and yellow colors are filled in by hand over the printed outlines, typical of a stencil-colored woodblock print.
