Giordano Berti provided images of the Sola Busca deck from the Wolfgang Mayer edition (1988) and permission. This limited edition deck is a beautiful reproduction of the Sola Busca.2 Stuart Kaplan, Bobbie Bensaid, and Lynn Araujo of U.S. Games Systems kindly provided a scan of a newly acquired portrait of Pamela and gave us permission for usage, which we acknowledge and for which we give our thanks. The RSA (Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce) confirmed Pamela’s membership, based on the provision by Corrine Kenner of a signed bookplate from Pamela’s own hand which bore the letters “FRSA.” The work of Robert Gilbert on A. E. Waite and Mary K. Greer on Pamela Colman Smith has been the bedrock upon which this present book was built, along with enthusiast sites online. We hope to have extended this research in new and exciting directions, particularly with regard to Pamela’s contribution to the deck. Finally, we would like to acknowledge and thank Barbara Moore for her support and friendship and for creating the opportunity to make these new discoveries available to a wide audience through Llewellyn Worldwide.
