Bresciane pattern

The Brescia pattern contains elements which come from a past age. Some features are the Cupid on the Ace of Cups, the linked 2 of coins, the old-fashioned batons forming a trellis and the curved swords. There is a small dog jumping up the Page of Cups' leg. It is not clear whether the Page of Swords is holding two swords, or a scabbard. The example shown here is from an uncut sheet printed by Edoardo Pignalosa of Naples, c.1940. (The back design is shown to the right).
