Text on the 19th-century card

Printed on a French Petit Lenormand (Geûens-Sea, Bruges, c. 1895–1901), Bibliothèque nationale de France [1]

Annonce une vie heureuse ; entourée de nuages indique chagrins de famille. Si cette carte se trouve au-dessus de la personne c'est un signe de vertu ; au-dessous elle met au contraire en doute ses bonnes qualités.

Original French

Announces a happy life; surrounded by clouds it indicates family sorrows. If this card lies above the person it is a sign of virtue; below, on the contrary, it casts doubt on their good qualities.

Translation

As a house in the Grand Tableau

Position 30 of the Grand Tableau is the House of the Lilies. A card that falls here is read in the context of peace, maturity, virtue.[15][16]
