Naissance

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

A hand comes out of the card's edge gripping a single budding bâton, a bar of the cipher below. The ace. Upright Naissance, birth; reversed Chute, a fall. All four of Etteilla's aces are held out by disembodied hands, as the Marseille aces were.
