Hello everybody (my first post here) and greetings for this beautiful forum.
I'm looking for a
color photo of the card reproducing the Visconti heraldic snake (Kaplan I, P. 99 &101), can you help me?
Thanks
Marco
P.S. I hope I posted in the right section...

Ciao omonimo
cerco proprio quello, non un qualsiasi biscione colorato.
Credo che sia l'unica carta dei Visconti di cui non ho una foto a colori...
I'm looking for the color photo of the Visconti card with the snake, not any biscione in color.
I think it's the ony color photo missing in my collection of Visconti cards.
Ciao

hi Otello (I prefer Otello to avoid Marco-confusions),
welcome.
What means, you have all?
Do you have the other color photos of the Rosenwald Tarocchi? Kaplan p. 99?

Hi Hunk,
no, I meant I have a color photo of all the
subjects of Visconti cards.
By the way, according to Kaplan II, I suspect I have very little chances to find this photo (if nothing changed in the meantime): the Von Bartsch cards are owned by an unknown collector and we don't even know the size of the Rosenthal cards...
OK, second try:
Do you know the color of the snake? (I'd try to use Photoshop.
)
Ciao
Marco

We attempted to forge the Rosenthal falconer (more a creative entertainment than a reconstruction) ... well, one never knows, if these cards possibly will reappear. The Sola Busca Tarocchi had disappeared, but was found and went to a museum.

Hi Otello,
A very warm welcome to the forum. Unfortunately, I don't have a Visconti snake to share, but I hope that someone here helps you get closer to finding one. In the meantime, do make yourself comfortable and let me know if there is anything I can do to make your visits more enjoyable.
best wishes,
robert

It may be blue not green. I have seen some painting of what I presume is this image- it was a Longobard totem. Apparently it is thought to be Tarantasio the Vouivre or Drake of myth- the Lombardy serpent with Dragon head who ate children and lived in a Lake. All the things are there- the Horns, crown etc. It did not have a red man in it's mouth- but a natural coloured child. If I remember correctly- it had something to do with a pregnant D'Este woman who was ill or afraid. I have a hazy memory of the Vouivre polluting the lake with it's breath.
There is a heraldic image that Huck has posted for a marriage that has the colouring you might use

A pregnant d'Este woman? Which woman?
Something similar appeared with Theolinda ... according a legend, of course.
