This collection of 10 hand-letterpressed cards features five different wildflowers found in the fields surrounding the Beekman: New Jersey Tea, Buttercup, Goldenrod, Dandelion, and Bittersweet. (Two cards of each variety are included in the collection.) Each are printed on heavy Crane cardstock, the same American-made paper that Wiliam Beekman would have carried in his original Mercantile. Each card is individually printed with contrasting ink and secondary background pressings using a foot-powered 19th century letter press.
