The Rider Tarot Deck.
The Rider Tarot has set the standard for hundreds of other tarot decks, which follow the archetypal images created by Pamela Colman Smith in 1909
under the direction of Arthur Edward Waite. There are 78 cards, 22 Major Arcana and 56 Lesser Arcana. This 1971 edition includes Smith’s original hand drawn titles.
Also includes an instruction booklet.
"A unique feature of the Rider Tarot deck, and one of the of the principal reasons for its enduring popularity, is that all of the cards, including the Minor Arcana, depict full scenes with figures and symbols. Prior to the Rider Tarot, the pip cards of almost all tarot decks were marked only with the arrangement of the suit signs -- swords, wands, cups, and coins, or pentacles. The pictorial images on all the cards allow interpretations without the need to repeatedly consult explanatory text. The innovative Minor Arcana, and Pamela Colman Smith's ability to capture the subtleties of emotion and experience have made the Rider Tarot a model for the designs of many tarot packs." -- (
from The Encyclopedia of Tarot, Volume III
