Maladie

from The Grand Etteilla, printed c. 1875-1899, to Etteilla's design of 1788

A robed magician stands at a table of coins and cups, wand out, the old Bateleur grown solemn in a high cap. Maladie upright and reversed. Why the conjurer of trump one became sickness is nowhere explained, and Etteilla's followers have argued about it since.
