Anthology Cards - Stand 118
Helen has a long track record in self taught design and retail with a passion for cards and wanted to create a distinctive collection with longevity that she would be proud to sell.
In 2016 she began sourcing rare 19th Century woodblock etchings, early 20th Century postcards, 1920s bookplates and the British Library archives, building up a collection and gradually bringing them back to life as greetings cards for a 21st Century customer. Finest quality 300gsm board FSC certified from G F Smith, Yorkshire paper merchants since 1885, is printed with indigo inks and a growing collection of over 200 designs are available in 5x7 inches / 12.5cm x 17.5cm.
Anthology cards is set in beautiful rural countryside bordering the Longleat estate providing inspiration for delving into the archives of history to create the designs. Anthology has developed a close working relationship with a small number of quality retailers who regularly repeat orders and is now looking to expand.
