Gothic greeting cards - beautifully printed and designed to make an impression.
The detailed panel of medieval carving creates a striking and unusual greeting card design. Its historical depth and symbolic subject make it a good choice for those who appreciate heritage, art, or more distinctive imagery. Suitable for a wide range of occasions where something less conventional is preferred.
Inside St Martin’s Church in Burton Agnes, the table tomb of Sir Walter Griffith, who died in 1487, is adorned with a dense arrangement of carved skulls and bones. This form of decoration reflects the medieval concept of memento mori, a reminder of mortality intended to encourage reflection on faith and the transient nature of life. Such imagery was often incorporated into church monuments of the late 15th century, combining skilled craftsmanship with symbolic meaning that would have been widely understood at the time.
In this image, the full panel of carvings is presented within its stone frame, revealing the layered composition in its entirety. The overlapping forms of skulls and bones create a structured yet intricate design, with subtle shifts in tone emphasising depth and age. The surrounding architectural border anchors the scene, while natural light brings out the texture and detail, reflecting the precision of the original artwork.
These greeting cards feature your chosen photographic design reproduced with clear detail and vibrant colour. Printed on high-quality card stock and carefully finished, they offer a simple and thoughtful way to share your chosen image with friends, family, or colleagues.
Available in two sizes

Each card is left blank inside, allowing you to write a personal message suited to the occasion. This makes the card suitable for a wide range of uses, from birthdays and celebrations to simple notes of thanks or encouragement. Or you can choose from one of the selected pre-written greetings.
