An eagle owl with striking golden eyes and intricately detailed plumage perches on a gnarled branch, rendered in naturalistic hand-colored illustration with warm browns, blacks, and cream tones against a soft beige ground. Overlaid across the bird's body is a passage of printed text in a simple, utilitarian typeface, fragmenting the ornithological study into layers of natural history and literary meaning. 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.
