1920réf. 16446London:: William Rider & Son c1920-1940. 70 x 118 mm. 2.75 x 4.75 inches. Single card. Original Rider Waite Tarot deck card. The Chariot. Card VII. from the Major Arcana. From the original early editions of William Rider & Sons printing of A.E. Waites tarot deck. Excellent condition. Full color. Brown crackle backed design. A rare and beautiful card from the most famous tarot deck ever printed. At time of description we locate no other comparable singles for sale. We find only one complete deck of Pam C printing for sale at five thousand dollars. 70 x 118 mm. 2.75 x 4.75 inches. The Rider-Waite tarot is likely the most popular and famous tarot card reading deck ever printed. It was first printed and published by William Rider & Son in 1909 printed 1910 after the instruction of well known occultist and academic mystic A. E. Arthur Edward Waite. It was illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith. It is estimated that over 100 million copies of the Rider-Waite deck have circulated over the last century. The symbols and imagery were influenced by the 19th-century magician and occultist Eliphas Levi as well as teachings of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The first printing was extremely limited. The Pam A deck was published from 1910-1920. Pam C was published 1920-1928. Pam B published 1931-1940. The deck was not printed again until much later in the 1970s. The difference between the early editions are distinct by outline artwork colors and lettering. The letters A B. C. and D were given at random and do not always refer to the order of publication. The easiest way to clarify which edition is by the ÒThe SunÓ card in each deck it is a bit more distinct in each edition. However because our deck was incomplete in the first place and missing ÒThe SunÓ card we could only match by color and design. Our strong belief backed by experience and reference is that our cards for sale are from the PAM C 1920-2928 or PAM B 1931-1940 decks. The colors designs and brown crackled backs support this.
