The Signs of the Zodiac
Designs by Erté
This stunning suite was by Erté to depict - in his own inimitable style - the signs of the Zodiac, "Capricorn", "Aquarius",
"Pisces", "Aries", "Taurus", "Gemini", "Cancer", "Leo", "Virgo", "Libra", "Scorpio" and "Sagittarius".
As a series of illustrations, it is among those noted in his obituary published in The New York Times on 22 April 1990 -
others noted included "The Alphabet", "The Numbers", "The Precious Stones" and "The Seven Deadly Sins".

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, with the image presented on White card stock with an accompanying envelope. On the rear of each card
we also present some information about Erté and the profiled illustration. We have left the interior of the cards blank so
that you may write your own personal message.
