THOTH TAROT CARDS (Box A).
Hong Kong: Liewellyn, Circa 1969.
1st Edition. First Edition THOTH TAROT CARDS Liewellyn Box "A"
First O.T.O approved Liewellyn Aleister Crowley Thoth Tarot.
The THOTH TAROT CARDS were painted by Lady Frieda Harris (1877-1962) under the guidance of Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) during WWII. They both created the concepts for the illustrations between 1938 and 1943. Unfortunately they were only printed after their deaths.
There are 78 tarot cards.
In this First Edition the cards are without borders to the backs of cards and the faces have a powder blue border, plus 2 cards including the "Caliph Card," each measuring 5 1/2" X 3 3/4".
The First Early Printing also has two errors: The "Eight of Cups" is lacking the Roman number that is normally stamped in the upper margin, and The "Ace of Disks" is printed upside down. The white card has the P.O. Box as 2043 which was changed in subsequent printings.
Box measures 5 3/4" X 4 1/8" X 1 1/2". Overall VG condition slight bump on the gold package.
These are very rare Tarot Cards indeed.
