# Tarot card images v2 — source ledger

All 78 cards and the card back are scans of an original **1909 Rider-Waite (Waite–Smith) "Roses & Lilies" deck**, illustrated by **Pamela Colman Smith** (1878–1951), published by William Rider & Son, London, 1909. The scans (by Saskia Jansen, from her own collection) are hosted on Wikimedia Commons in [Category:Rider-Waite tarot deck (Roses & Lilies)](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Rider-Waite_tarot_deck_(Roses_%26_Lilies)).

- **Licence**: public domain. Each Commons file page was checked on 2026-10-11: the 78 card faces carry `{{PD-old-70-expired}}` (author died 1951; life + 70 years elapsed), the card back carries `{{PD-US-expired}}` + `{{PD-UK-unknown}}` (published 1909, author unknown / possibly Pamela Colman Smith). Commons metadata `LicenseShortName` = "Public domain" for all 79.
- **What we did**: downloaded the original files (SHA-1 below = the Commons file SHA-1), resized to 600px wide (aspect kept), converted to WebP q80, metadata stripped. Nothing else (no redrawing, no recolouring, no AI). The back uses the Commons rotated-and-cropped version.
- **Build**: `bash scripts/build-partner-tarot-images.sh` (refuses any source whose SHA-1 differs from this table).
- **v1**: `tarot/cards/v1/` holds byte-identical copies of these files (the former artwork there was replaced on 2026-10-11).
- Card numbering follows the 1909 deck (VIII Strength, XI Justice). Minor arcana 11–14 = Page, Knight, Queen, King.
