It says Waite "commisioned" Smith to draw the cards so she, maybe, got some compensation but nothing about her getting anything from the sales.

Smith was one hell of a woman though.

Smith also illustrated over 20 books, wrote two collections of Jamaican folklore, edited two magazines, and ran the Green Sheaf Press, a small press focused on women writers.[4]
