It was fun to make the complete image. I thought that it would probably take some time, but Miriam is an experienced "puzzleress" and the job was done within 30 minutes.
After finishing we noticed that some cards had not been cut very carefully. There were some thin white lines along the edges, that shouldn't be there and some of the border cards had a  white border that was slightly broader than  the adjoining one. And -as you can see here below- there are differences in the placing of the suitsigns on the cards. 

The name of the deck is on the 5 of Clubs and the name of the publisher and number in the edition are on the 4 of Clubs. We think that this is no coincidence. The 4's in the Spanish suited deck often display information and in the French suited decks the 4 of Clubs was used in Spain to place the taxstamp (until the 1970's).

The front of the box: a head from the original painting (see the King of Hearts), poorly copied by I. Gabaldon.

And the result?

We'll let you judge for yourself........
