Il Granduca

from The Minchiate Fiorentine, 1860-1890

A crowned ruler enthroned with a parti-colored orb, a pennoned lance leaning behind the throne. Papa due, usually identified as the Grand Duke, a fitting sovereign for a deck from grand-ducal Tuscany; minchiate quietly dropped the tarot's Popess and Pope from this stretch of the order.
