Pictorial Webster’s Wall Cards

Icons and Curiosities from A to Z

Chronicle Books

Anchors, puffins, ships, and bicycles. Such classic motifs lend just the right amount of nostalgic charm to any contemporary home in need of a little style and whimsy. The engravings are drawn from the book Pictorial Webster’s by Johnny Carrera and are reproduced here on sumptuously heavy card stock with bold typographic letters. Includes 26 cards, one for each letter of the alphabet, suitable for framing or propping up willy-nilly.
