Huck, a few times you have posted this image here:

.
This comes from a low-resolution image of a woodblock with 21 cards on it. The other cards look very interesting too. I know you have shown us images of four of them which you improved in the same way as you improved the Fool (two batons cards and two swords cards).

Do you have images in similar quality for the other cards, which you could share with us? What is the best quality image you have of that woodblock?

Thanks Huck! If that is indeed from the 19th century, it must be fairly early in that century—the designs look more or less as old as anything I've seen. Extremely useful.
