My quest for Pixie works is still going on steadily. Now, the illustrations from "Lair of the White Worm" by Bram Stoker (1911).

And I'm waiting for the PCS Commemorative Set. Judging from the flyer they sent to me, there'll be many wonderful color works in the book. For me the colored "Mistress Page" and "Chim Chim" are gems!

In light of the recent discussions of Pamela Colman Smith and Stuart Kaplan, I thought I'd give this thread a bump. Great stuff here!

namesoftrees · 19-05-2009

thankyou for the bump! Thankyou for posting it.

**Debra** · 19-05-2009

Some of the Pamela artwork in the new set comes from Roppo! So we owe him more thanks!

**roppo** · 25-05-2009

Thank you very much Debra and friends.

Now with the publication of "The Art Work & Times of Pamela Colman Smith" in the Commemorative Set, I'm feeling my Pixie searching days are coming to an end. As I wrote before, Mr Kaplan's Pixie collection is really overwhelming and I simply admire it, with lot of sigh.

The book contains 127 pictures and in my estimation 40 works are not to be seen anywhere else, even on line ( I have 53 of them and am not sure this figure is great or not). I provided 3 works to the book from my colleciton, one of which is the "Much Ado About Nothing" printed on the keepsake box. I believe this is my personal victory

(roppo stands up and bows). Cheers.

Jokes aside. Based on the biography in the Encyclopedia III and with newly added materials, the book offers the comprehensive view on the life and works of Pixie or Picky (or Pic : her close friends called her this way. "Pixie" was too formal for them!) I recommend the book wholeheartedly to anyone interested in Tarot, Art and Magic.

But I believe there'll be further materials to be added and it's my hope I'll be the finder of them. So my hunting continues. Wish me good luck, friends.

Best of luck, Roppo, and thank you for this awesome thread!

Today I received huge and heavy parcels which contained many issues and hard-bound versions of "The Occult Review" 1906-1948. Rough estimation tells me now I'm a owner of almost 80% of all the issues. Great. And of course there is a 1909 December issue featuring Pixie's Tarot drawing with very crisp lines. I scanned them by 300dpi and turned them into Jpeg without shrinking. So each item is rather heavy, about 800KB, but worth looking.

Perhaps I'll be able to dig up interestig info about RWS from "OR".

**Debra** · 23-09-2009

Wow! What a treasure! I'm beginning to think that Roppo has a collection....

Interesting to see how skillfully Pixie depicts facial expressions on the hi-resolution cards--even the dog and the Magician's snake seem to be conveying emotion!

**missy** · 24-09-2009

I have just been through this entire thread and am blown away. I had never seen any examples of PCS's artwork except the tarot cards. She is immensely talented. The coloring of the RWS cards, which she apparently didn't like, doesn't do her justice.

Reading this thread and looking at samples of her artwork has brought my 1971 RWS tarot alive again, despite the coloring. I can now see justification for getting an oversized RWS deck.

roppo, I want to thank you for broadening my horizons!

Your collection is truly marvelous; keep it up!

I cannot believe the beauty of the treasures you have uncovered. There really is no monetary value that can be placed on a collection such as this.

**roppo** · 25-09-2009

Oh, thank you for the kind word, missy! I'm still searching Pixie works and quite recently sniffed a hot track leading to some unknown forest. I'm not sure if I could come back with any luck, but worth trying, the deep forest is!
