Aleister Crowley's analysis of the Tarot, illustrated with black and white pictures of the cards he designed with Lady Frieda Harris.
This actual book seems to have an interesting provenance. A sticker inside the front cover shows it was originally sold at the Atlantis bookshop in London. It was then resold by the Inner Bookshop in Oxford. It came to the Museum from the library of Kathryn "Kat" Adams, and has an inscription signed "Caitlin" (with a little triskele design), who may be the author Caitlin Matthews.
Donated in memory of Kathryn "Kat" Adams.
