le pendu
Am I interpreting this correctly?
The consensus is that the Vieville is the earliest known deck of this pattern (1650, Paris). The Vieville has the Pope and Popess.
The Adam C. de Hautot (c. 1723, Rouen) shows the pattern, but has replaced Pope and Popess with the Spanish Captain Fracasse and Bacchus.
Many more decks (such as the Vandenborre) were created in the 1700s in what is now called Belgium, but then was the Austrian Netherlands.
A "probable conjecture" is that the pattern comes from Piedmont/Savoy.

So... Piedmont/Savoy > Paris > Rouen > Belgium?
Why Piedmont/Savoy? Are there examples of what a Piedmont/Savoy deck would look like? (Did we just go through this with the Ottone?).
How did the Bologna similarities get into it, any ideas?
thanks!
