I agree that the Thoth is very 'art deco'.
Though I would say that in europe that period ended with the begining of the war.
though of course that was later in America, and you did not have rationing and all that (Did you?)
You should hear my Mom reminice about the sweet coupons, and the air raid sirens!
But I'm hardly an expert. I bow to your superior knowledge.
Imagine! Crowley and Harris, slaving over the cards while the bombs rained down around them!
Would it have been while he was living in Hastings?
That must have taken a hammering, down there on the south coast!
What's a BFA?
I'm an AFB, when I want to be. You can guess what it stands for!
As for period. The RWS was a little early. Marseilles was about, but in no way the right style. The Thompson Leng was in the 30's. But, from the little I have seen not art deco at all.
Are there any? You really have got me wondering now!
But personally, I have always liked Art Nouveau more than Deco.
If there was a genuine art nouveau deck (again, a real one, not just 'in the style of') I would love o hear about it.
