Prison

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

Lightning strikes a round domed temple and knocks stones loose. It is the Tower, called Temple foudroyé in the old French packs. This printing puts Prison upright and Misère reversed; Etteilla's 1788 original ran the same pair the other way up, and later printers were casual about it.
