Three, carefully hand-drawn transformation cards. The Ace is a scene of calvarymen, one of whom holds a flag, turned to form a diamond shape that has been highlighted in red. The two of diamonds is a scene in a gothic nook of a cardinal reclining, his hands clasped and his feet crossed; his hat is one diamond and the second his pillow, both highlighted in red. The three of diamonds is an image of three men, shown half-length, all with beards and one with spectacles.
