Bernice said:Thank you Huck! I have the LS copy of this deck (called, German Renaissance).
In this book there is accompanying text with the woodcut images, I wish I could read it. There is no text on the cards, or a LWB with the LS deck.
Delightful (and thought-provoking) images. The woodcuts in the book seem clearer - or perhaps they're more finely drawn.
