Text on the 19th-century card
Printed on a French Petit Lenormand (Geûens-Sea, Bruges, c. 1895–1901), Bibliothèque nationale de France [1]
De près il éclaire de ses rayons et fait fleurir le bonheur, mais de loin il refroidit, décourage dans toutes les entreprises et prépare des calamités.
Close by, it shines with its rays and makes happiness bloom; but from afar it chills, discourages every undertaking and prepares calamities.
As a house in the Grand Tableau
