Snow Leopard, Medieval Bestiary Art Postcard

Snow Leopard, Medieval Bestiary Art Postcard On a snowy ridgeline high in the mountains, a pale spotted Snow Leopard stands tall on a rock with its long thick tail draped behind it. Jagged white peaks and blue shadows fill the sky. The scholar's entry calls it thick coated and silent, and its step is a soft and certain thing. That quiet beauty of the high mountains shapes the whole design. A large gold drop cap on a patterned blue panel opens the name SNOW LEOPARD, with a red subtitle, of the High Peaks, set beneath it over a small black ornament. A short scholar's entry in old style lettering fills the left column, and a framed window on the right shows the pale Snow Leopard standing on a snowy rock among mountain peaks. A small brown ink sketch of a paw print marks the lower left corner. Snow white, smoky gray spots, and icy blue sit on a parchment tone page with darkened, burnt looking edges, inside a border of blue and red acanthus vines, red and gold flowers, four small songbirds, and thin gold rails. The reverse continues the manuscript look rather than becoming a plain postcard back. A parchment tone writing field sits in a deep blue and gold frame set with red lozenge ornaments, with a gold griffin on a red medallion in each corner. At the left, a smiling golden lion in a red and gold collar sits on a stone ledge under a rose covered archway, with a spired castle, a waterfall, and snowy mountains behind it. The right side holds POSTCARD lettering, DELIVER TO: address lines, and a PLACE STAMP HERE box. • Snow Leopard standing on a high mountain ridge • Gold drop cap S, red subtitle of the High Peaks, and a short scholar's lore entry • Snow white, smoky gray, and icy blue on a parchment tone page with a blue and red floral border • Matching manuscript style lion back with message, address, and stamp areas • Part of the Medieval Bestiary Postcard Collection from Wild Realms
