Three hoopoes perch among delicate botanical sketches rendered in warm ochres, russets, and pale greens against a cream ground. The birds display their distinctive crested heads and intricately patterned plumage with naturalistic precision, their poses graceful and observational in the manner of nineteenth-century scientific illustration. 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.
