What do you make of the background in this card ?
For me it has a middle eastern feel .....whilst all of the other
cards feel as though they are located somewhere in Europe
(or eastern europe) . Plus the guy looks as though he is
wearing a Fez (?) .
Since he has been assigned the role of the thief I had better be
careful what I say .....still , maybe this is a sign of a non pc assumption in the mind of the artist ??!!
It could be that the tents in the background are meant to be
similar to the ones used at the time of jousting tournaments in
Medieval England .....so perhaps its only the context here which
is wrong , and which jars with me somehow .
Its the only card in the deck which has this effect on me (*there
there, take the little green pill*) , but I'm asking myself the same
questions each time I see it .
