re: Justice/Fortitude switch
Searching through my copy of The Golden Game by Stanislas Klossowski de Rolla,
I noticed an image on p. 13 that had eluded me before of a figure of a woman facing the viewer, sidestraddle upon a lion (facing forward) with her arm stretched out and her hand upon its head; its forelegs slightly bent.
( I can't seem to locate an image online) -this image of JUSTICE is from Pierio Valeriano's De Hieroglyphica , Basle 1556. According to bits I can piece together from the internet, this image interprets as ferocity submitting to Justice.
I am unfamiliar with Justice represented as such and have no idea if Waite would have had access to this image but it did strike me as an interesting coincidence.
