From 'The World of Playing Cards': The Brescia pattern contains elements which come from a past age. Some features are the Cupid on the Ace of Cups, the linked 2 of coins, the old-fashioned batons forming a trellis and the curved swords. There is a small dog jumping up the Page of Cups’ leg. It is not clear whether the Page of Swords is holding two swords, or a scabbard.
