Cards and Gifts

Wood engravings depicting twelve different exotic animals make an attractive print, suitable for framing. The images were carefully printed on the RIT Cary Collection's historic letterpress equipment, using 19th century wood blocks and a cream laid paper. Animals included: tiger, leopard, lion, hyena, eagle, camel, boar, elk, mountain goat, crocodile, kangaroo, and bear.

Color plate printed by C.M. Search of Rochester, N.Y., for a nurseryman's fruit and flower catalog. Search was active from 1880 - 1900 and often used watercolors and a stencil process to produce his lush and evocative images of horticulture products. Held in Melbert B. Cary, Jr. Graphic Arts Collection.
