Bembo-Visconti-tarot-arcanum-fool
Summary
The Fool (tarot card), in Visconti Sforza tarot deck, beautifully drawn in the mid XVth century by Italian artist Bonifacio Bembo for the Visconti and Sforza dukes of Milan. Four cards (out of seventy-eight) are lost from the deck (the fifteenth and sixteenth major arcana—respectively the Devil and the Tower—, the Knight of Coins, and the Three of Swords), thus seventy-four cards remain.

The card images were scanned by David Madore and published on the internet in 2003-09. They are scans of a fac simile version printed by AGMüller in Switzerland, though US Games Systems also seems to be somehow part of the editing process, which David bought in 2003-08 from an online store (broken link).
