Birds Knowledge Cards

Pomegranate Communications

The vogue for composing sonnets arrived in England in the late sixteenth century. These short verses told a story and were typically dedicated to a lady; standard themes were the lady s coldness and the poet s despair. William Shakespeare s efforts are distinctive in that many of them are admonishments to a young man (to marry, to pro-create, to forswear vanity and cruelty), rather than the more usual expressions of distress or delight attending romantic love. Whomever they were intended for, the forty-eight sonnets in this deck deftly, delicately convey the spirit s confrontation with time, change, death, love, lust, and beauty. These 48 fact-filled Knowledge Cards are a great source of condensed information all in a deck the size of a pack of playing cards! Discover the heights of historic wit and wisdom in this stimulating compilation. An inspiration to the writer, philosopher, dreamer, student, teacher, or language lover, this deck is sure to spark the imagination, and may even inspire you to feats of personal creation. Size: 3 1/4 x 4 inches.

One hundred years ago, the Vienna Workshop was a booming artists cooperative. Known as Wiener Werkstätte in German, the workshop thrived from 1903 to 1932, and its designers produced art that was used to create fabrics, furniture, clothing, postcards, and so much more nearly anything you could think of, as long as it was of quality design. A few of the Vienna Workshop s many artists created the designs you see here. Even the most complex drawings were often made into patterns that could be used in myriad ways. Sometimes designs would also be produced in a series of colorways, showing all the beautiful potential that can be found when an artist starts with one set of shapes or outlines. As you color, think of all the different ways that your new design could be used. We ve even left a page at the back of the coloring book blank so that you can devise your own design.

Yet how varied that one idea can be: From lush gardens and summer seashores to grand sitting rooms or stark interior scenes, women steal a moment or an hour or a day to read.

These days, nostalgic visions of France go hand in hand with early twentieth-century train travel in large part because of colorful posters created by railway companies and hotels to boost tourism. These artworks used vibrant, jewel-like hues to adorn lush vistas, quaint fishing villages, and rail routes hugging rocky mountainsides. The twelve posters reproduced in this calendar come primarily from the interwar period, boom years for French tourism.
