This is the oldest-surviving tarot deck in the world, closely followed by its siblings, the Visconti-Sforza (c. 1451) and the Visconti Brambilla (1463). All three were commissioned by the Viscontis, the ruling family of Milan at the time.
The original deck had the same value as that of a house, since each card is lavishly adorned with gold and silver.
Also called the Cary-Yale Visconti, it has 89 cards through the addition of the theological virtues (Hope, Faith and Charity) as well as of female knights and pages.

"As for Lucrezia, the darling of the Borgia family, as a child she was described as tall for her age, with a long neck and luscious blonde locks. She was also forever smiling and laughing, full of gaiety and incredibly elegant. She had an incredible inner toughness about her demeanour that would help her through many hardships in the years ahead." — Cesare and Lucrezia Borgia: Brother and Sister of History’s Most Vilified Family by Samantha Morris
