EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and whimsical Good Luck Card, titled "Penzance" and illustrated by the renowned British artist Lawson Wood, features a black cat with a red horseshoe and an upturned kitten. Dating back to circa 1937, this image showcases the power of symbols and talismans as protective charms and amulets. The black cat, often considered a symbol of good luck in some cultures, is depicted with a knowing smile and a red horseshoe collar. The red horseshoe, a classic lucky charm, is believed to ward off evil and bring good fortune. The upturned kitten, a common motif in Lawson Wood's work, adds an element of playfulness and optimism to the design. The overall composition is filled with intricate details, from the textured fur of the cats to the intricate patterns on the horseshoe. This Good Luck Card would have been a cherished possession, offering its owner a sense of comfort, protection, and good fortune during challenging times. Lawson Wood's unique artistic style and use of symbolism continue to captivate audiences, making this piece a timeless treasure.
