Quinn Bancroft Red Fox Note Card

Quinn Bancroft Fox revels in the hunt, but prefers to capture her subjects on film. Perfect for her work as a Cultural Anthropologist. Her Brownie Hawkeye camera, complete with giant flash, is a trusted and trustworthy companion. Photographing all that she sees, she jots corresponding notes on her maps and fleshes out her thoughts further when she returns to her den.

Through her work, an interesting side project has developed: collecting vintage regional cookbooks, the ones showcasing the long-enjoyed comfort foods that Mamma would make. Not necessarily because the recipes will induce a full-on tryptophan coma, but because of the era in which they were created.

Quinn loves digging through history for the stories and traditions of local communities often lost as towns become more homogenous. Reading between the lines gives great insight; she feels like a detective, teasing out little clues about the economy, the environment, focus on health, and the cultural makeup of a town. She is surely the only one that uses her cookbooks for anything but cooking.

Note Card, A6 (4.5” x 6.25”) with envelope in protective cello.

On the reverse of each card is a whimsical tale of the animal featured. Entirely collectible, the stories intertwine, creating a much-loved community of characters.

We print on a luxurious 318 gsm, 100% cotton paper. Soft and durable, this paper showcases crisp detail and vibrant colour. We fell in love with our beautiful goldenrod shade, 90# envelope. According to the ‘World’s Favourite Colour’ study, people associate the feeling of joy with this colour. Also, this is the very shade that enrobes our trusty #2. As all of our images are hand drawn in pencil, we thought it appropriate to give a nod of appreciation.

We donate a portion of gross sales to animal welfare.
