Talk:Mantegna Tarocchi

Erroneous Content and Title

This article will eventually need to be completely overhauled. The images from the E Series and S Series books were never cards (until modern times that is). These were copy books for artists and craftsmen. The images were copied and borrowed by many artists, including Dürer. There is no evidence whatsoever that they were ever used as cards, as a game, or for any other purpose other than as images in an artists' copy book. — Parsa (talk) 01:48, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

On the contrary all the evidence is that they were designed as up-market educational aids for children, as the article clearly says, following Zucker and Lwevinson. At least one set includes gold highlights, which would be odd in a set of artists' patterns. Johnbod (talk) 01:35, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
