Thank you both for doing this, it's fascinating comparing the versions. I've never seen them so clearly before and realise now that I much prefer the Pam A. Also I've been looking for nice B&W scans of the RWS to recolour.
The other day I had the happy honour of receiving kenji and the Three Sisters to my hermitage.
The first edition trio for RWS study. Pam-A, The Key to the Tarot, The Pictorial Key to the Tarot]/i].

From right to left. Pam-B, Pam-A, and Pam-C (am I right, kenji?) The thickness of Pam-A is so conspicuous.

Here I again want to express deep gratitudes to kenji for his generosity!
It is probably Waite's The Key to the Tarot, which was published in 1909. It was expanded into The Pictorial Key to the Tarot, published in 1911.orange book is the pictoral key to the tarot, but what is the little blue one?
I don't know if you will ever see this message, kenji.
But you have my deepest thanks for having those cards uploaded.
