The Sun — Two Tarot Designs
Two human figures stand beneath a radiant, faced sun in each of these tarot designs. Falling teardrop-like shapes, a low wall and the paired bodies organise their shared vocabulary, while the figures’ gestures differ. The two reproductions accompany Papus’s treatment of the Sun within his comparative symbolic study.
