Anatomy of a Birthday Suit Greetings Card
£3.25
Description
This card comes from The Pattern Book, an English stationery company designing, among other creations, vintage-style greeting cards. As they say of themselves, We curate our imagery from archives, libraries, vintage shops and flea markets, restoring and reworking drawings and graphics from myriad sources, including out-of-print books, scientific texts, commercial catalogues and vintage maps. Many of our designs are instructional or educational, inspired by ‘how to’ guides and taxonomical illustration. Others are nostalgic for the lifestyles and interests of long-ago. All of them are beautiful enough to frame.
The Pattern Book’s collaboration with Wellcome Collection, a free museum and library, began in 2018 with a series of humorous, though-provoking cards, inspired by their intriguing archive connecting science, medicine, life and art.
