Christmas Cards – NOW SOLD OUT

Our new range of Christmas cards have been very popular and have now sold out – thanks to all who supported us by purchasing some.

This year, there were five new card designs, capturing various views and inspirations of the library from a number of different perspectives.

Single cards – £1.50 each
Three cards of any design – £4.00
Five cards of any design – £6.50

 

Our first card shows a snowy Quay Street in Penzance in the 1950s, an image from our historic Photo Archive collection. The emulsion damage to the negative serves to enhance the chilly atmosphere in this photo. This card is now sold out.

Our next is a more recent, and quite rare, image of the library surrounded by snow, captured by our library assistant Harriet on the 18th January this year

Harriet also created our third card, The Morrab Gardens Christmas cats, inspired by our oft-seen furry visitors! This card is now sold out.

Library Assistant James has also contributed a design, inspired by a Christmas card in our Lamorna Birch scrapbook collection, an exciting new donation to the Photo Archive in 2024. This card is now sold out.

We welcomed library member Faye Dobinson as our artist-in-residence in 2024, and asked if she might create an exclusive Christmas design for the library, inspired by her time with us. She created this beautiful cyanotype of holly and ivy using plants from the surrounding Morrab Gardens.
