The imagery painted on early cards was mostly the same stuff that was painted on walls; a consciously domestic type of high renaissance imagery. Mostly. Some of it terribly clever, but not intelligent as such.
By contrast, the seventeen which legend associated with Charles V have markedly different character; learned and intellectual, not so cute and not so self-conscious.
Hope you like the lobster.
