The other red spot meets the idea, that one should know, that Jupiter had been protector and Nr. 2 in a deck called "Petit Oracle des Dames" before 1810 ... and I've to ask myself: Where and when?
Here we have Jupiter as Nr. 2 and Juno at Nr. 3 in the deck ...
... which by DDD then is called "nouvel Etteilla" or "petit Nécromancien", and it was presented ALSO in the catalog of 1984.
Re: the dating of the Geographic -- while the 52 card deck was dated in the catalogue as c.1820, the 33 card deck at the Met is dated by them as 1700-1799! Let's just say, 18th century
If 18th century, then clearly late 18th, drawing as they do upon the engravings of Saint-Sauveur, so post his book and related engravings.
Kwaw: Regarding the information you posted ..
