This set of notecards is based on titian Ramsay Peale's the butterflies of North America, an unpublished nineteenth -century manuscript equivalent in scope to audubon's birds of America. Inspired by the collage-like quality of Peale's original notes and drawings, this exquisite keepsake box contains 32 flat cards, 16 envelopes, and cotton twine; tie two cards together to create 16 two-layer cards. Peale's manuscript is now housed in rare book collection of the American museum of natural history's library.
