The top panel on the left has a conventional depiction of the minors, while the panel below has a picture of the correcponding playing card. In panels at the top and bottom are Etteilla style keywords, the top containing the upright correspondences while the lower has the reversals. The Majors are retitled and assigned to non-standard numbers.
