The artist on Waite's original deck was Pamela Colman Smith. While her initials can be seen down in one corner of each card, she never seems to get credited very much for her illustrations, which I think are what really made the deck popular. The images of the later deck cards in the link provided are interesting but I don't find them anywhere near as evocative as Pamela's drawings. It's a mystery to me why she doesn't get more credit for these simple, elegant works of arts.
