The Met Store Hybrid Amaryllis Quilled Holiday Card* Holiday Cards

Send season’s greetings with art holiday cards.

The festive flowers on this delightful quilled holiday card come from Hybrid Amaryllis Regina Vittata (1824), a vivid hand-colored print. Engraved by William Say (British, 1768–1834 London) after Barbara Cotton (British, active ca. 1810–30), it was originally published in Transactions of the Horticultural Society of London and now resides in the Museum’s holdings. The Met’s archive of drawings and prints is one of the most comprehensive of its kind in the world, with approximately 1.2 million prints—among other works on paper—in its distinguished collection.
