From a full set of 78 tarot cards of the Piedmont type (Tarocco Piemontese), made in Milan by L. Lamperti. A hand-coloured woodcut with the backs of the cards folded over the edges of the fronts to form a border that is typical of Italian cards. A hand-coloured woodcut with white tape around the edges on the recto. The Jack or Knave wears a circlet of leaves on his head and stands, looking towards the right at the large chalice which he holds in his right hand. Drapery from his left shoulder falls from the chalice. He holds the lid in his left hand. The title of the court card is printed below: FAN. DI COPPE. On the verso is a woodcut printed in red ink and hand-coloured in yellow of a winged female figure holding aloft the Iron Crown of Lombardy, the word, MILANO printed below. The Tarocco pack consists of 78 cards: a trump suit of 22 cards, numbered from 0 to 21, and four 14-card suits of swords (spades), batons (bastoni), cups (coppe), and coins (denari). Each suit has a King (Re), Queen (Regina), Knight (Cavaliere) and Jack or Knave (Fante). There are similar sets in the collection of the British Museum. See: 1904,0511.38.1-78 and 1896,0501.120.
