Poultry Illustration Greeting Cards - Coloured Dorking Chickens - 6 Cards

Here is an absolutely beautiful set of six (6) greeting cards. The full-color illustration seen here of the Coloured Dorking Chickens was reproduced from the original  print featured in W.B. Tegetmeier's "The Poultry Book", illustrated by Harrison Weir.  The color prints for the book were done by Leighton Brothers in London, who were also the printers and publishers of the Illustrated London News between the years 1858 and 1885.  The book itself was published by George Routledge and Sons, London, in 1867.

These lovely cards are printed on white glossy card stock, which makes the illustration stand out so well on the cards that many of our customers will use some to mail to family and friends and others to frame and hang in their home or give as a special gift.

The image seen here fills completely the entire front of the card while the inside of the card is blank and the back contains a brief descriptive text about the art and artist. Each card is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 folded, includes matching envelope and are wrapped as a set in a protective and resealable polybag.  The set is shipped in a corrugated box.
