About This Design

The Sphinx Postcard

The Sphinx Postcard

Pencil and crayon on paper by Dutch artist, Jan Toorap. This epic-scale drawing entitled, "The Sphinx", includes swans, a vulture, keening maidens, like Egyptian tomb mourners, and an emaciated dead poet still clutching his lyre. Toorop casts elements of Egyptian art into a melting pot of devices and references from other cultures to forge a new style with a symbolic content of its own. 1892-1897

Zazzle Reviewer Program
Was not previously familiar with this work, but discovered it while browsing thru Zazzle's postcard inventory. Bought it, as well as several others, to "fill out" a collage I was making. Upon receipt, I liked it so much, I thought about getting a pillow with the design - but have so far resisted. The one negative, which appears to apply to virtually all of Zazzle's postcards, is the fact that the dimensions "fall short" of the "Standard 4" x 6". Luckily, I was able to align most of the cards such that they worked out, but I really wish Zazzle would just make their cards a little bigger. Zazzle is requiring me as part of my review to rate & comment on the printing. I did not have any text imprinted on the card - but as far as the quality of the reproduction, card was great, as noted earlier.

I had never seen these classic science fiction images and most of my friends have not seen them either. They are like little treasures! Amazing quality and fun to send people!
