Binary star letterpress cards
Set of 5 cards and envelopes
Each of the 5 blank greeting cards in this set are letterpress printed by hand in light blue grey ink on bright white 100% cotton Crane's Lettra paper (blank inside).
The front of each card is a detail of an 1860s astronomy textbook illustration describing "Binary or Double Stars". The text on the original illustration reads, "These Stars revolve around a common Centre of Gravity between them, and appear Single unless viewed with a Good Telescope," and the card itself features a portion of the center of that text, with the constellations of the Zodiac charted out below.
Each card measures 4 5/8" h. x 4 ½" w. when folded and the set includes 5 cards printed on heavy, acid-free stock in light blue grey ink. The five 5" square envelopes are a heavy kraft brown paper with a rounded, pointed flap. The finished sets are packaged in biodegradable cellophane.
