Helen has a long track record in self taught design and retail with a passion for cards and wanted to create a distinctive collection with longevity that she would be proud to sell.

In 2016 she began sourcing rare 19th Century woodblock etchings, early 20th Century postcards, 1920s bookplates and the British Library archives, building up a collection and gradually bringing them back to life as greeting cards for a 21st Century customer. Finest quality 300gsm board FSC certified from G.F Smith, Yorkshire paper merchants since 1885, is printed with indigo inks and a growing collection of over 250 designs are available in 5×7.

Anthology is based in beautiful rural countryside bordering the Longleat estate providing inspiration for delving into the archives of history to create the designs.

Helen has developed a close working relationship with a small number of quality retailers who regularly repeat orders and she is now looking to expand Anthology Cards to a wider market.
