When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-in plates - in homage to the hand-crafted

approach typical of prestige illustrated publications produced in the early decades of the 20th Century.

 

Hand-finishing is used to replicate the visual appearance of a tipped-in plate and the images are presented on Ivory card

stock (in the case of colour illustrations) or White card stock (in the case of monotone illustrations) with an accompanying

envelope. We have left the cards blank so that you may write your own personal message.

The major colour illustrations

 

En riddare red fram

Just som hon sagt detta, satt på hennes

knä liten grå sparvunge.

En riddare red fram

Jag kommer med hundra hälsningar från en,

som du gjort gott emot, kvittrade sparven.

 

 

En riddare red fram

Sådan kom han åter till flickan, som ännu

satt kvar vid källan.

Pojken och trollen eller Äventyret

God kväll, farbror! hälsade pojken.

Pojken och trollen eller Äventyret

Det va en rysligt ful och liten näsa,

du har! Titta på min!

Pojken och trollen eller Äventyret

Nå, hur är det med aptiten? fortsatte trollmor.

Pojken och trollen eller Äventyret

Titta på dem, sa trollmor. Titta på mina söner!

Vackrare troll finns inte på denna sidan månen.

Spelmannen, som fick madonnans guldsko

Han såg den heliga jungfrun böja sig ned och

taga av sig den ena skon, som hon med ett hult

leende räckte honom.

Spelmannen, som fick madonnans guldsko

Han stapplade fram mot madonnans bild och

kysste ödmjukt hennes bara fot.

Guldnycklarna

Och hon räckte fram en nycke! - en den allra

finaste lilla nyckel av guld.

Guldnycklarna

De dansade på ängen, och Lena liten sjöng,

medan hon dansade.
