Thomson-Leng Publications Tarot, 1935
The THOMSON-LENG Tarot Cards (and the Romany Fortune Telling Cards) were issued by the publishers of women's magazines during the 1930s. The cards are loosely based upon the Rider-Waite tarot, but also on other sources, and are becoming unusual to find. The name of the designer / illustrator is not known. Some of the designs reappear in Maritxu Guler's Tarot Esoterico published by Fournier, Spain.
