Visconti Sforza Tarot Leather Bookmarks
Pickup available at Morgan Library & Museum
Usually ready in 2-4 days
These beautiful leather bookmarks feature reproductions from the Morgan Library & Museum's Visconti-Sforza Tarot and feature the Morgan's logo on the back. Painted by Bonifacio Bembo for Francesco Sforza and Bianca Maria Visconti — the Duke and Duchess of Milan — the Visconti-Sforza tarot is among the earliest surviving tarot decks. Seventy-four cards survive, now divided between the Morgan Library & Museum, the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo, and a private collection. Coats of arms on several cards suggest the deck may have been a diplomatic gift, possibly intended to honor a member of the Bon family of Venice.
