Scope and Contents

This suite of drawings depict Tarot card images in visual poetic terms. Two of the drawings provide brief handwritten explanations for each of the images. The remaining 22 drawings depict the individual cards. All drawings have white thick paint background on paper. They were framed and matted by Caruso and housed in a wooden box that has been painted and collaged on three of its sides. Photographic reproductions of the drawings are found in "Le Brache di Gutenberg: cronica n.s. 30, 1994," a periodical also held by the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
