Butterfly Bee Fruit Insect Illustration Cake Topper

Butterfly Bee Fruit Insect Illustration Cake Topper

Vintage Bee and pear Butterfly Caterpillar illustration from Medieval Manuscript - This illustration is from the manuscript, "Mira calligraphiae monumenta" or "Model book of Calligraphy", this vintage insect and fruit illustration shows a bee flying over a vintage pear, which a vintage caterpillar is walking on, and a vintage butterfly is flying next to. It's quite a menagerie of vintage things! The illustration was created by medieval illustrator Joris Hoefnagel (Flemish and Hungarian, Austria) in the late 1500s. From 1561 to 1562, Georg Bocskay, the Croatian-born court secretary to the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I, created the words on the page for the Model Book of Calligraphy in Vienna. The purpose of the book was to demonstrate calligraphy writing styles. Thirty years later, Emperor Rudolph II, Ferdinand's grandson, commissioned Joris Hoefnagel to create illustrations to go along with the calligraphy. Hoefnagel's illuminations included this page, showing fruit and insects; Hoefnagel was known for painting natural objects. Our fruit and insects look great on our gifts. The bee, butterfly, caterpillars, and pear are wonderful gifts for someone who loves medieval art.

I ordered this garden stake to see how it was and will say the website and description don't do it justice. This plant stake is a hard plastic that has held up even in a downpour. I really like it and will buy other garden stakes as add-on gifts for my friends who love to garden. Beautiful color combination, bright and cheerful

Item turned out as ordered. Super cute! Pick is a little small for a big cake, but it did its job! Very thick sturdy item that wasn't harmed by hand washing. Design and printing for product came out as ordered, free from errors and clear, true to pastel colors shown on item description.
