An 1845 Paris guide to fortune-telling with playing cards and tarot, attributed to Johannès Trismégiste (pseudonym of Lorambert) and published by Jules Laisné, with about 150 figures. Its pictures are small pen-and-ink drawings of tarot-style card figures such as a crowned seated king holding a sword, a robed figure with a cup and wand, a hand gripping a sword, and a devil among fanned playing cards, offering a designer sketchy engraved figures with strong silhouettes and simple hand-drawn line work.
