A Radiating Arrangement of Tarot Cards
Court cards occupy a compact central group while numbered suit cards radiate outward at alternating angles. The intersecting vertical and horizontal lines give the arrangement a cross-like structure within a broader wheel. Reproduced in the 1896 English edition of The Tarot of the Bohemians, the plate makes Papus’s systematic arrangement of cards visible as a single figure.
