Hello all
In the English translation of "The Tarot of the Bohemians" by Papus,
there are the pictures of TdM minor cards, which have ENGLISH TITLES:
WANDS: http://www.sacred-texts.com/tarot/tob/img/03600.jpg
CUPS: http://www.sacred-texts.com/tarot/tob/img/04201.jpg
SWORDS: http://www.sacred-texts.com/tarot/tob/img/04400.jpg
PENTACLES: http://www.sacred-texts.com/tarot/tob/img/04801.jpg
It seems these cards were already shown in the first edition of Morton's
translation, published by Chapman and Hall in 1892.
Does anyone know about this deck?
It looks a Conver-type TdM, but must have been published in Britain
for thay have English titles (above all, "PENTACLES"!).
I suspect this deck might be the one published by George Redway,
which was mentioned in the 1892 version of this book:

Now I have an additional question:
What was the first deck that was published in Britain???
Thanks,
Kenji
