The Metropolitan Museum of Art Louis C. Tiffany Dragonflies Correspondence Cards

Museum-Inspired Notecards Put pen to paper in artful style. These luxurious single note cards feature golden dragonflies embossed on high-quality paper stock, making a memorable impression. The design source for our elegant correspondence cards is a hair ornament (ca. 1904) in The Met collection that depicts, in precious materials, a pair of delicate dragonflies resting on dandelions. Louis Comfort Tiffany (American, 1848-1933) was an artistic giant of the Gilded Age who embraced virtually every medium. Looking to wildlife and botanical sources, he and other turn-of-the-century artists employed dragonflies as a favorite motif to convey the beauty and transience of the natural world.
