A collection of 12 rare exotic Butterfly prints. All are handcolored lithographs circa 1850. The CD-style jewel box (which looks like a music CD when it is closed) has been adapted to bend back 45 degrees to provide an "easel" in which the months (pages) are displayed. Each month just replace the previous month's calendarium. These desk calendars provide an decorative accent to any area where they are placed: desks, tables, shelves, tables, etc. They provide the function of a calendar without occupying too much space (4.75 x 5.5 inches when opened). Each month displays a beautifully reproduced vintage butterfly print on an archival heavy 80# cover stock (216 gsm for those used to European paper weight designations) and can be individually framed once it has been used. These images are from the Ars Antigua collection of over 500,000 engravings and lithographs from the 16th to 20th century. Ars Antigua desk calendars have been available at leading museums and institutions including the National Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.), Morgan Library (NY), Getty Center (Los Angeles), Frick Collection (NY), Los Angeles Philharmonic Store, Metropolitan Opera Shop, etc. An excellent holiday gift for butterfly lovers. This calendar is made in America
