When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-on plates - in hommage 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-on 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.
Should you wish to order a Reproduction Print or an individual Greeting Card from this suite of images, we have
provided options below. Of course, should you require a customised preparation, we welcome your contact through
ThePeople@SpiritoftheAges.com.
In the meantime, enjoy perusing these wonderful images from Maxfield Parrish.

O wild West Wind, Thou breath of Autumn's being,
Who chariotest to their dark wintry beds The wingéd seeds |
Tell me where is Fancy bred, Or in the heart, or in the head? How begot, how nourshéd? Reply, reply |
When such music sweet Their hearts and ears did greet As never was by mortal finger strook |
No white nor red was ever seen, So amorous as this lovely green.
Here at the fountain's sliding foot Or at some fruit-tree's mossy root, Casting the body's vest aside My soul into the boughs does glide

Happy the man, whose wish and care A few paternal acres bound, Content to breathe his native air On his own ground |
How sweet the answer Echo makes To Music at night When, roused by lute or horn she wakes, And far away o'er lawns and lakes Goes answering light! |
The brightest hour of unborn Spring,
It kissed the forehead of the earth, And smiled upon the silent sea, And bade the frozen streams be free,
And like a prophetess of May Strew'd the flowers upon the barren way
|
Thou shalt, at one glance, behold The daisy and the marigold; White-plumed lilies, and the first Hedge-grown primrose that hath burst |
