Calligraphic Menagerie


Calligraphic Menagerie

Twenty charismatic creatures made with playful flourishes by the quills of 17th- and 18th-century calligraphers

Sourced from Letterform Archive’s collection of historic writing manuals—books in which Europe’s leading scribes showed off their talents—this set of 20 unique notecards with accompanying envelopes delightfully displays hand-drawn animals made with ink and pen. Dogs, cats, bears, elephants, lions, dragonflies, peacocks, swans and more are reproduced in bright hues on an array of colorful backgrounds. These technically masterful and playfully expressive artworks by famed calligraphers such as Jan van de Velde, John Seddon and Joseph Friedrich Leopold make ideal companions for handwritten messages of all kinds. Presented in an elegant foil-stamped box, this set is the perfect gift for all animal-loving pen pals.
