Card of the Week!
his week's pick comes from the pages of Love Finds the Way, a Gilded Age romantic novel from 1904!
Illustrated by Margaret Neilson Armstrong (1867–1944), she created the cover design (pictured below) as well as the interior, which features floral border decorations and text frames that appear throughout the pages of the book.
The story blends romance and wartime patriotism, following Captain Richard Goddard during the 1776 American Revolutionary War and British occupation of New York City. His love interest, witty and courageous Phillis, who proves vital in rescuing Richard from capture, is none other than... his cousin!
With its captivating artwork and truly unique story, this almost 150-year old piece of literary history has inspired several floral art nouveau thank-you cards!
Seattle and Great Outdoors Greeting Cards
We may be biased, as we are based in Seattle and love the Pacific Northwest — But we think you'll love our new Seattle and Great Outdoors Collections!
See these cards and more created by multidisciplinary artist Cory Steffen.
