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. Each card is

hand-finished and and the images are presented on Ivory card stock with an accompanying envelope. The rear of

each card carries information about Kay Nielsen, this wonderful suite and the profiled illustration - we have left the interior of the cards blank so that you may write your own personal message.

 

Our large format reproduction prints are produced with a process utilising archival quality materials to ensure may

years of enjoyment. In addition, each these large format print is also accompanied by information about Kay Nielsen,

this suite and the profiled illustration.
