"View of Nature in Ascending Regions" by Levi Walter Yaggy, 1893 Stationery Card

Snow-capped mountains rise in dramatic tiers across a lush valley floor, their white peaks crowned with tufts of reddish-brown vegetation that seem to defy gravity. The composition layers warm earth tones, verdant greens, and pale blues beneath a luminous sky, rendered in the meticulous hand-colored chromolithographic style of 19th-century educational naturalism. Printed on smooth white card stock and made to order, artwork on the front, blank inside, envelopes included in every set. A handwritten note that arrives as an independent artist's work.
