Harlequin (Signs)

The only source of information on Harlequin signs is found in a footnote in Vera Larson’s unpublished doctoral thesis: A Mark Near the Door: Gypsy, Beggar and Thief Signs in Nineteenth Century Europe. The favorite Harlequin signs are diamonds, a lute, or a sword. All of these relate to the commedia dell’arte theatrical harlequin.
