This compelling new example of the artists early work demonstrates his precocious involvement with the currents that shaped the British Occult Revival at the beginning of the twentieth century, and his interactions with some of the periods artistic and political protagonists including Aleister Crowley, Arthur Ivey, Sylvia Pankhurst, and Pamela Colman Smith. n nMagic Circle Museum curator and artist Jonathan Allen set about tracing the decks provenance, its place in the artists oeuvre, and within the wider histories of cartomancy, in so doing contributing an unexpected counter narrative to the history of popular Tarot in the early twentieth century. Lost Envoy reproduces Austin Spares tarot deck in its entirety for the first time, alongside new written and visual contributions from Jonathan Allen, Phil Baker, Helen Farley, Alan Moore, Kevin ONeill, Sally OReilly, and Gavin Semple. n nThis new edition contains a substantial amount of new and revised material, including a major new discovery about Spares sources for the attributions on his deck, hitherto unknown.n
