The Butterflies of Titian Ramsay Peale Notecards

Keep the simple joy of handwritten correspondence alive. Surprise and delight someone special with an exquisitely designed greeting card from the Strand Magazine. Discover our collection of limited-edition, small-batch greeting card designs, handcrafted by dedicated artisans.

This set of notecards is based on Titian Ramsay Peale’s The Butterflies of North America, an unpublished nineteenth-century manuscript equivalent in scope to Audubon’s Birds of America. Inspired by the collage-like quality of Peale’s original notes and drawings, this exquisite keepsake box contains 32 flat cards, 16 envelopes, and cotton twine; tie two cards together to create 16 two-layer cards. Peale’s manuscript is now housed in the Rare Book Collection of the American Museum of Natural History’s Library.
