An orange-tip butterfly hangs at the centre of the card, wings open, larger than the man standing below it. He is cut small and casting a hard shadow on an orange dune, with a purple disc and a starlit blue one behind.
KR Moorhead cuts every element by hand from an encyclopedia of British and European butterflies, a vintage photographic book on game hunting, and offcuts from larger pieces, with nothing printed and nothing sourced online. It is mounted on 200 to 300gsm pale yellow cardstock and measures 2.5 by 3.5 inches, the standard trading card size, and it is titled, signed and dated on the reverse.
The piece arrives in a protective sleeve inside a stiff folded card, held with photo corners so it lifts out without being touched. At this size it is meant to be propped rather than hung, and it should be kept out of direct sunlight, which will fade secondhand paper faster than new.
