The Hanson-Roberts Tarot Deck is often a favorite deck for novice and seasoned readers alike. Accomplished artist Mary Hanson-Roberts’ primary goal appears to have been to provide an aesthetically pleasing, manageable deck that is a very faithful rendition of the Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) system. Toward that end, her use of colored pencil, printed on high-quality plastic-coated card stock, provides a deck is quite durable with colors that are quite vivid without becoming garish. It is easy to see why this deck is intensely popular, especially among novice readers. Hanson-Robert’s artwork is, of course, extraordinary.
