Art Medium:
Pen line drawings in various colours with watercolour.
Description:
Modern version based on the original designs of George Ottonovich Mebes (1869 - 1930), usually identified only by his initial G.O.M., gave a series of lectures or lessons on tarot to the disciples in his Initiation School of Western Esoterism. In 1912 these were published under the title The Course or Encyclopedia of Occultism. The images here, by an unidentified artist, are based on a famous set of tarot designs associated with Mebes which was printed in 1937. The designs are centred within wide borders in which are placed various associations and symbolism.
