This birthday card featuring a poem by e.e. cummings is printed with royal blue linseed oil ink on Flurry Cotton letterpress cards in cream. The front of the card is letterpress printed, and the inside is blank for your message.
The text of the card was handset, one letter at a time, and the cards were printed one at a time on a Golding Pearl Press made in 1892. Flourishes from Moore Wood Type bracket the verse. It is purposely printed off-center on the card as a tribute to e.e. cummings's sense of whimsy and delight in the absurd.
Each card ordered comes with a matching Flurry Cotton envelope. It is a standard-size card and can be mailed with a regular Forever stamp.
I make all prints in my shop personally by hand, including typesetting, carving illustrations, and printing on the press.
