Description

The printed greeting card occupies an interesting position among paper goods: it is ephemeral by intention, yet the better examples are kept, pinned up, or tucked into books long after the occasion that produced them has passed. A card with a design worth looking at is a more useful object than one that is not, and the choice of design says something about the sender that the message inside does not always manage to.

These cards carry a Vintage Voyagers France design across their full printed face, in the A4 format suited to the flat-file envelope and the mantelpiece equally. The interior is blank, which is the correct choice: the card provides the design, and the sender provides the occasion.

The Design

This Card A charming set of matte-finish greeting cards featuring a vintage illustration of a young woman in an extravagant feathered hat. The muted paper texture and soft, slightly aged colors bring a nostalgic, antique feel to notes of gratitude, invitations, or simple hellos.

A Note from Jeff

The fashion plates of pre-Revolutionary Paris are among the most misunderstood documents of the eighteenth century. They are routinely treated as frivolous, as evidence of aristocratic excess, as the decorative margin of a serious historical period. I find them serious. They are precise records of a material culture at its peak, drawn and colored by skilled craftspeople for a public that read them carefully. The hat on this card is not a joke. It is an argument.

For anyone who will recognize what they are looking at, and appreciate that the sender did too.
