(Click the images for larger ones.)

Answer: The Brotherhood of Light Egyptian Tarot Cards, drawn by Gloria Beresford under the direction of C.C. Zain and published by The Church of Light in 1936.

This deck is among the first to be published in the United States. The designs of the Major Arcana were inspired, in part, by those of Maurice Otto Wegener, which appeared in 1896 in Les XXII lames hermétiques du Tarot divinatoire [The XXII Hermetic Cards of the Divinatory Tarot] by R. Folconnier. The Church of Light is an organization, founded by Zain and dedicated to esotericism, with headquarters in Los Angeles.
