<br> Smith is known best for illustrating the 1910 Waite-Smith tarot deck (from which individual cards are sometimes reprinted). "Published by William Rider & Son of London, it has endured as the world's most popular 78-card tarot deck. The innovative cards depict full scenes with figures and symbols on all of the cards including the pips, and Smith's distinctive drawings have become the basis for the design of many subsequent packs." --Wikipedia
