Book Description
Part of bestselling designer Cynthia Hart's Victoriana Dogs stationery line, here is a curated collection of 300 stickers featuring sweet and charming pups from the Victorian era, combining two big trends--dogs and vintage--into one sophisticated gift. Dogs were celebrated during the Victorian era because they embodied important cultural values of the time: steadfast, loyal, courageous. They became the most popular domestic pets--Dash, a King Charles Spaniel, was considered Queen Victoria's closest childhood companion--and were pampered just as they are today. Created by artist Cynthia Hart, who layers antique paper ephemera, fresh flowers, ribbons, and vintage objects into lush collages filled with life, color, and energy, this specially designed sticker book features 300 Victorian dog-themed stickers, each one an ode to the joy and love that dogs have brought to our lives ever since the 19th century.
