| In 1909, under the direction of Arthur Edward Waite, artist Pamela Coleman Smith created an innovative 78-card tarot deck that would come to be recognized as revolutionary. With descriptive pictures on the 56 Minor Arcana cards, the Rider-Waite deck digressed from the tradition of tarot deck used for centuries and set the new standard for nearly every tarot deck published. This beautiful giant version of the deck measures 4 x 6.5 inches. |
