Robert Mealing's recent post in the XVI - Mason Diev has also reminded me of this card sequence which I had been wanting to post for a while.
There are a number of images which combine depictions which clearly have iconographic correspondence with both XX Judgement and XXI the World combined, and even their titles, the World to come following the final Judgement, make sense in that context.
One image of particular interest I will attach later, but thought that the image, also found in that same book mentioned by Robert - La Somme Le Roi, worthy of note.
On the Bibliotheque Mazarine site, it is the fourth image, the Christ figure having, especially when linked to the numerous others even more closely resembling the World card, close affinity to it, and the Trumpeteers awakening from death the departed as per the Judgement card.
Also of interest in the lower portion of the image is the ways in which the Devil(s) 'lead' some to the gates of Hell, somewhat similarly to depictions found on some decks which 'replace' the Tower with this image - which itself of course follows the Devil card!
I just thought it would make for interesting discussion...
