Ebook: Rider-Waite Tarot Deck, Reworked & Restored, 600 dpi Printable

Hail Tarot afficionados !

These scans of the Rider-Waite deck @ 600 dpi (1480x2600 pix each card) has been extensively reworked (to the extent that I could almost claim them a derivate work) since the original art was rather poorly brought to the printers.

Gross ink-bleeds have been repaired, skews straightened out and all cards sized uniformly and then saved as jpegs of less than 1 MB each.

There are also provided images of the white margins of the cards with the copyright text. One can thus reconsruct an image of a whole card by simply pasting any (or all) image(s) into the frame.

It is a pity that much of the symbolism the artist (Pamela Colman Smith) must have included in the original drawings has become indistinguishable from noise due to the various coarse reproduction processes employed.

Much of the restoration work was done to the music of:
• Adriano Celentano's 2007 album Dormi Amore La situazione non è buona,
• Agnetha Fältskog's 2008 album My Very Best
• Russian art rock band Picnic's 2008 album Iron mantras (Пикник - Железные мантры)
amongst many more so if these cards look good, you know who to thank !
