Note Cards Florals & Related
Over the years, I designed and produced thousands of Note Cards for museums and other institutions. One of the reasons for their popularity was the unique glossy laminated wallet style packet designed in the late 1960's that carried the cards. The packet makes an attractive presentation that safely holds the cards and envelopes. The front and back show the cards inside. On our site, In most cases, you will see both packet and cards. The cards shown on these pages are all from the original productions, are in perfect condition, and the prices are at a great savings compared to todays regular prices.

19th Century Seed Packets
These are an interesting set of note cards as
the cards illustrate two Trade Cards which
were in common use by merchants in the late 19th Century. Some times printers even embossed the cards . The printing technique was called Chromolithography. Up to 20 strikes of the plate was sometime used to give subtle colors life. In a period between 1870 and 1910 they were used as inexpensive advertising and promotional material.
Now they are valued collectables.
