LIMITED EDITION TAROT IN FOLIO
The Major Arcana of the TAROT Limited Edition in Folio by Taylor McCall, 1975, Santa Fe, Bocaccio Press, 22 multicolored, silk-screen prints, hand-pulled for each page up to nine times by serigrapher Hugh Blackwell using screens hand-cut for each color by the artist, Taylor McCall, plus accompanying text that faces each print. The silk-screening was executed at the Blackwell studio in London, England on special hemp paper made by master craftsman Luigi Amatruda at his watermill which has been maintained since the thirteenth century by the Amatruda family in Amalfi, Italy. In this work, Taylor McCall gives illustrative form to P. D, Ouspensky's original descriptions of the Major Arcana which comprised the latter portion of "The Symbolism of the Tarot," written in 1911, published in 1913 in St. Petersburg, Russia, and translated by A. L. Pogossky and published in the same year with black and white illustrations of the Major Arcana which in many instances were in variance with Ouspensky's text. In addition to variations in the symbolism on many cards, Ouspensky designated number V for The Chariot and VII for The Hierophant. Ouspensky was familiar with the Golden Dawn numbering of the Major Arcana as evidenced by his numbering VIII Power (Strength) and XI Justice. Limited and signed (on copyright page) edition by the artist, poet and publisher, numbered 22 of 150. The collection of folded single sheets are enclosed in a gold-tooled, three-quarter calf folio box lined with exquisite custom-designed marbling, and cloth ties. Also includes a sixty-six page reprint of Ouspensky's "The Symbolism of the Tarot," bound in matching marbled paper, and original Prospectus with an extra The Hermit screened at a reduced 50 in size. Page size 22 1/2 in. (56.5 cm.) high, 16 in.(40.5 cm.) wide, Book size 8 13/16 in. (22.3 cm.) high, 6 in. (15.3 cm. ) wide, Box size 22 3/4 in. (57 cm.) high, 17 in. (43 cm.) wide.
