[Rarebooks] FA: 1910 1st Edition of the Waite-Smith Tarot Card Deck

[Michael John Thompson]

For Auction:

The 1910 1st Edition, 2nd issue of the famous Arthur Edward Waite - 
Pamela Colman Smith - William Rider Tarot Deck

I have included a lengthy discussion of the history of the printing 
of these cards, the first tarot cards printed in English and arguably 
the most important and easily reconised of all Tarot Decks.

Suffice to say, the first impression was defective and was withdrawn; 
three extant copies are known. This impression is as early as it is 
thought possible to obtain.

Reasonable reserve.
