Rider-Waite-Smith® Tarot Deck

Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot presents Pamela Colman Smith's 1909 artwork in a palette of soft, subtle colours, framed with ivory parchment borders and carrying her hand-lettered titles. This is an authentic reproduction deck: minor flaws in the original art have been left untouched rather than corrected, preserving the antique character of the printing. A 36-page booklet is included, with an introduction by Stuart R. Kaplan.

Reproduction decks of this kind exist for readers who want the artwork as it was rather than as later reprints refined it, and the preserved imperfections are the point rather than a defect. The hand-lettered titles in particular are Smith's own and were replaced with typeset lettering in most modern editions. It suits collectors and readers studying the deck's history as much as everyday practice.
