Telling fortunes by cards; a symposium of the several ancient and modern methods as practiced by Arab seers and sibyls and the Romany Gypsies
Telling fortunes by cards, a 1916 Chicago compilation edited by Carleton B. Case, gathering ancient and modern card-reading methods of Arab seers, sibyls and Romany Gypsies for a general readership. The pictures are small black-and-white playing-card layouts showing court cards and pip spreads arranged in cross patterns, plus a classical emblem with a laurel sprig, offering a designer a clear model of card-spread diagrams and ornamental botanical borders.
