Yes, I thought my 4-card scan was a tad small. Here's a sample of some separate scans of the CofCoupe. I scanned some cards, separately.
(Compare jmd's Payen w/ TdNostradamus.)
Some of these scans certainly reify the idea that there is blood within the cup. Of course, this has long been a theme regarding the Tarot cups. Look at the Piatnik version; either by deliberateness or accident of coloring, the blood in his cup is overflowing. In fact, is it bubbling? Where have I heard this before? (Seriously, isn't there some scholarship on that idea of bubbling/boiling? or maybe I'm hallucinating.)
