The Key to the Tarot by L.W. de Laurence
Publication: 1918 The De Laurence Company
Early printing by the notorious occult publisher L.W. de Laurence, whose business was built largely on appropriating and repackaging the work of others. Widely regarded as a persistent nuisance by many contemporary occult authors and publishers, he nevertheless became one of the most influential disseminators of esoteric literature in the English-speaking world. Today his editions are highly collectible. This work is based on A.E. Waite's The Pictorial Key to the Tarot.
