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]

It seems she was paid but not very well: “a big job for very little cash”
