Pamela Colman Smith’s illustrations for the Rider Waite tarot deck are known to millions worldwide, but her many other contributions as an artist, folklorist, editor, and suffragist have received relatively little attention until recently. 她很活跃 from the 1890s through the 1920s, during the critical transition from the Victorian 到现代主义时代.

An American citizen, Colman Smith was born in England, spent part of her childhood in Jamaica, traveled frequently between New York and Dublin during her peak years of productivity, before retiring to Cornwall where she died in 1951. 尽管今天 primarily remembered for designing the Rider-Waite tarot deck, she was a seminal figure 在早期现代主义. My book explores how Colman Smith adopted multiple identities during different parts of her life: Jamaican folk tale teller, suffragist, and ambiguously gendered pixie and how these personas, coupled with a fearlessness unusual for women in this period, affected her critical reception and led to her longstanding lack of 识别. 

In July 2018, I wrote the biography section and served as co-author of a mass market 艺术的书, Pamela Colman Smith: The Untold Story, that was published by U.S. 游戏公司. The lavishly illustrated, commemorative book 标记为140th anniversary of Colman Smith’s birth contains more than three hundred reproductions of Colman Smith work, many of which had been out of print for decades or unpublished. The contributors were Stuart Kaplan, Mary Greer and Melinda Boyd Parsons.
