La Ville

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

Ten gold cups stacked into a pyramid on a slate ground. Upright La Ville, the town; reversed Courroux, wrath. Etteilla read the ten of cups as civic and social life, a whole town of feeling, which curdles when reversed.
