Wolf, Medieval Bestiary Art Postcard

Wolf, Medieval Bestiary Art Postcard Between tall pines on a misty mountain slope, a gray Wolf steps over the rocks with its head low and its eyes keen. A snowy peak rises in the distance behind the trees. The scholar's entry calls it a lean runner who wakes when the pine wind moves, and its howl is a long and carrying thing. That wild calm of a mountain forest shapes the whole design. A large gold drop cap on a patterned blue panel opens the name WOLF, with a red subtitle, of the Mountain Woods, 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 gray Wolf stepping down a rocky path beneath tall pines and a far mountain peak. A small brown ink sketch of a paw print marks the lower left corner. Wolf gray, pine green, and misty mountain blue glow on a parchment tone page darkened at the edges, wrapped in curling blue and red acanthus vines, red and gold flowers, four little 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. • Gray Wolf walking a rocky trail through the mountain pines • Gold drop cap W, red subtitle of the Mountain Woods, and a short scholar's lore entry • Gray, pine green, and mountain 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
