The Rider pack, 1909 · A. E. Waite and Pamela Colman Smith
The deck Waite designed and Pamela Colman Smith drew for Rider in 1909, and the first widely published pack to give every one of the fifty-six suit cards a scene rather than an arrangement of pips.
The meanings are Waite's own words from The Pictorial Key to the Tarot. They belong to one influential school of reading and do not exhaust what the cards have meant in other hands.
