VIII Strength
Forward: Courage, magnanimity, persistence, patience, spiritual power. Able to offset any bad luck in surrounding cards.
Reverse: Denotes an inability or refusal to mature, to deepen one's wisdom with one's years.
From this deck of cards.
Odd little image I saw underneath a poem in this book. Unfortunately I cannot read Russian and thus have no idea of the context/content of the essay. Interesting image though.
VII The Chariot
"Control over tension of opposites. Triumph over all difficulties through perseverance; a balanced life; success. REVERSE: Failure in carrying out a project, riot, litigation."
From this deck of cards.
A row of Alexandre Dumas' complete collection of The Count of Monte Cristo.
Title(s): The Count of Monte-Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas. I believe it is the edition with nearly five hundred illustrations from designs by G. Staal, J. A. Beauce, and other eminent French artists.
Published: London, New York, G. Routledge and Sons, 1888
I believe this is the publisher's imprint of this book, but I do not speak Russian and therefore am honestly not quite sure. Feel free to correct me. Interesting ink color, I thought!
Another macro shot of an interesting illustration that I found in this book.
Poetry of some sort, from this book. Unfortunately, I cannot speak Russian and thus chose this completely at random! If you know what it says, I'd love to know! The script is very beautiful, in any case.
This is an interesting illustration that was in this book. It was quite small in the book, but how unusual!
I believe this is the title page and publishing info of the book, correct me if I am wrong though! I unfortunately do not speak Russian, but Cyrillic script is quite pretty, I think!
UPDATE: fuckyeahrussianlanguage was kind enough to translate this! His translation:
"There is no doubt that a good reader may and must try to vividly distinguish the accomplishments of the work, and, on the contrary, hide its shortcomings; but only on condition that he himself felt through those accomplishments and convinced himself of those shortcomings. Ernest Legouvé"
Thanks very much! It is from this book.
Various editions of Chaucer books.
VI The Lovers
"Conflict between different attractions and the necessity of choice which mean responsibility. Beauty, inner harmony. REVERSE: Quarrels; frustration of romance of marriage;failure."

Imprint of the Black Manikin, a press that operated in Paris from 1926-1932.
"Edward W. Titus (1870-1952), publisher and founder of the Black Manikin Press. A Polish-born American citizen, he set up a bookshop in Paris in 1924 called At the Sign of the Black Manikin, which became a gathering place for expatriate writers... Titus began publishing books under the imprint Black Manikin Press in 1926, including a version of Lady Chatterley's Lover in 1929... Both the press and the magazine were short-lived and ended in 1932. The press had published twenty-five books by this time." - here

I wonder if this is the Aleister Crowley? The time this book was published works and that is a more unusual way to spell that name (as opposed to "Alistair").
If it is, what a cool little find! I was just looking to read some of Baudelaire's poems.
