The Rosenwald sheets are a set of three printed sheets of playing cards from the 16th century, for the game Minchiate.
Description
Andy's Playing Cards states:
Another tarot likely printed in Ferrara from woodblocks around 1500 is the one featured on the three uncut Rosenwald sheets, held by the National Gallery of Art in Washington (USA). The first sheet contains trump subjects, whose iconography is partly consistent with that of other Ferrara tarots (e.g. Fortitude is a female figure by a column, Death rides on horseback, etc., see page III), and partly similar to the one typical of group C (the Conjurer, the Lovers, and others, including the ranking of Justice, VIII).
The other two sheets contain court cards and pip cards, but more than one scholar disagrees that the three sheets may belong to the same tarot, claiming that the second and third ones probably represent one of the earliest version of Minchiate cards.
