Vintage Aloys Zötl Camel Greeting Card with Desert Landscape - 1831 Art Reproduction for Birthday, Anniversary & Thank You Cards

Product Description

We at Philo Hooke Publishing are fascinated by this collection from the surrealist bestiary created by Aloys Zštl from 1831 to 1887. Made using the finest inks and paper available and printed individually for you. Most of the images depict animals in abnormal environments inconsistent with their natural habitat. The juxtaposition of these wild animals and their unusual surroundings is truly exquisite. As Andre Breton, the man who Òre-discoveredÓ this collection said it best: ÒLacking any biographical details about the artist, one can only indulge oneÕs fantasies in imagining the reasons which might have induced this workman from Upper Austria, a dyer by profession, to undertake so zealously between 1832 and 1887 the elaboration of the most sumptuous bestiary ever seen.Ó
