EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases three peculiar cranes ingeniously crafted from the iconic three of hearts playing card. Created by Starr Wood in 1910, these whimsical transformation playing card birds are surrounded by intricate doodles and squiggles, a popular artistic trend during the 19th century. The image was originally featured in "The Strand Magazine, an illustrated monthly". Volume XL - July to December 1910, published by George Newnes Ltd in London. Transporting us back to the early 20th century, this artwork exemplifies the fusion of art and leisure that prevailed during that era. With meticulous attention to detail, Wood skillfully incorporated the pips of non-face cards into his design, resulting in a mesmerizing visual spectacle. The vibrant colors bring life to these avian creations while showcasing Britain's rich artistic heritage. This piece not only captures the essence of a pastime hobby but also represents an innovative approach to transforming ordinary objects into extraordinary works of art. Starr Wood's imaginative interpretation reminds us that creativity knows no bounds and can be found even within everyday objects like playing cards. As we admire these peculiar cranes formed out of hearts, we are reminded of the endless possibilities for self-expression through artistry and imagination.
