The Pear in Paper The Tortoise Greeting Card (Linoprint/Letterpress)

This 'The Tortoise' letterpress eco-friendly greeting card began as an illustration - then became a hand carved linocut - then a linoprint and finally went through the letterpress platen a number of times, phew!

Florrie is The Pear in Paper's much loved, beautifully restored treadle based letterpress platen and was built in 1872.

This card is wonderfully tactile as the image is de-bossed into the soft, luxurious tree-free card.
