artist erasure, 1910 edition

TIL that neither Rider nor Waite actually drew the famous tarot deck that bears those names: Rider was the publisher, Waite the (male) academic who came up with the designs, but the illustrator was Pamela Coleman Smith. And now I'm annoyed that I didn't know that before, and that the last and arguably most important of those parties didn't/hasn't gotten more credit.

Hm, I wonder why she alone is not remembered. What possibly could it be?
