Because Waite was not an artist himself, he commissioned Smith to create the actual deck.[9] It is likely that Smith worked from Waite’s written and verbal instructions rather than from sketches; that is, from detailed descriptions of the desired de- signs. [...] It appears that Waite pro- vided detailed instructions mainly or exclusively for the Major Arcana, and simple lists of meanings for the Minor Arcana or ‘pip’ cards. Thus the mem- orable scenes of the Minor Arcana owe largely to Smith’s own invention. The Minor Arcana are indeed one of the notable achievements of this deck, - as most earlier tarot decks (especial- ly those of the Marseilles type) have extremely simple pip cards. Smith’s innovative illustrations for the Minor Arcana, with their rich symbolism, made the Waite-Smith deck a widely imitated model for other tarot decks. “Seven is the number of perfection.” [Eden Gray] The knave stealing away with the spoils of the camp.
