Vintage Greetings Cards (Pack of 6)

£2.00

A pack of six vintage greetings cards featuring pen and ink drawings of locations of interest around the National Landscape

Description

A retrospective re-release of a series of greetings cards, featuring pen and ink drawings of scenes from around the Arnside & Silverdale area, first published in 1992.  The set comprises:

  • Sandside, Cumbria by John Biddulph
    The modern road from Arnside to Milnthorpe clings to the shoreline of the Kent Estuary. At high tide the railings prove a popular location for anglers of all ages. In their turn at low tide the herons come to fish, their grace and skill a delight to watch.
  • Arnside Knott by Douglas Wittey
    A slow walk up to the new mountain indicator on Arnside Knott is rewarded with breathtaking views.
  • Hawes Water by Douglas Wittey
    Within Gait Barrows National Nature Reserve is Hawes Water — calm and grey — a lonely coot calls, reassuring itself of the inevitable. Spring will return.
  • Hazelslack Tower by Pat Proctor
    Built in 1375 with thick walls and having three storeys, the tower was added to the original manorial dwelling to provide protection and a defence for local inhabitants against invading and marauding Scots.
  • Bearded Tits, Leighton Moss by Douglas Wittey
    The Causeway, Silverdale, and the R.S.P.B. public hide . . . territory of the active and colourful Bearded Tits.
  • Old Footbridge, Milnthorpe by Douglas Wittey
    The footbridge, at Milnthorpe, over the tidal Bela where hungry Mallard call to the fallow deer in Dallam Park.

The cards are supplied in packs of 6 (six of one image, or one of each) complete with envelopes.  The greeting inside each card reads ‘With Best Wishes’.

Please note that these cards are being made available in their original printed form with no modification. As a consequence, they carry out of date logos and information.
