A shepherd pauses in the field, lantern in hand, his flock gathered close around him, as he gazes upward at the Star of Bethlehem blazing across a warm amber sky. The scene is rendered in soft dusk tones — dusty rose, pale gold, and deep slate blue — with the delicate pointillist texture of the heavens above lending the night an almost luminous quality.
Inspired by the work of British illustrator P.J. Billinghurst, whose delicate draftsmanship graced the pages of Edwardian children's literature, this letterpress Christmas card carries a quiet reverence — the oldest story told again, in ink and impression, at the moment it was first believed.
Message inside: "Wishing you all the joy of the season." Letterpress printed. Deckle edged paper. Box of eight includes matching envelopes.
