This works for the The Hierophant card because the image with the Papal Staff with the triple Cross correctly corresponds to the traditional pose of the enthroned Pope holding the Papal Cross in his left hand.
You can see evidence of this in both real life photographs, the TdM and RWS depictions.
Also, you can see that E. Trevisan's signature has been transposed in each of the four images.
The most obvious revelations of the four cards is The World.
The central figure faces right instead of left.......although.....the stance of her body and flow of the sash correspond to both Tdm and RWS imagery.
However, notice that the mirrored positions of the Angel and Eagle at the top as well as the Lion and Ox.
Taking into account the personal interpretations of the artist and the scrutiny of the editor's at Lo Scarabeo, it IS entirely possible that
the artwork was intentionally printed in that manner as a compromise.....BUT card VII - Il Carro (Chariot) suggests that these may have been printing errors after all.
The staff is in the right hand instead of the left and the dark and light Sphinxes are reversed.
