Two Worlds Tarot Art Reference

 
The imagery of the Two Worlds Tarot is comprised entirely of derivative works. The original works from which the Two Worlds Tarot is derived are all in the public domain in the United States where the deck is published, and should be in the public domain in every country, as the creators of all original works passed away at least 80 years ago.
