The Fall of Icarus

from The Grand Jeu de Mlle Lenormand, first issued 1845; this printing c. 1850-1880

One winged figure climbs while the other tumbles, feathers coming loose; the bird lies broken below. The panel above carries a lettered index, a constellation and a playing card; the strip below carries a flower and two small figures, so one card answers five different methods at once.
