These note cards are printed on coated card stock for the highest print quality on a non-rag paper. This is card stock that has been coated with a matte finish to optimize print quality from a wide format inkjet printer. The paper we use is 230 gsm, roughly equivalent to 80 pound cover.
This is a special price for the 12-image set.
After adding your order to the cart you can access the shopping cart through the link at the top right corner of this page.

Over the years I developed a great fondness for bicycle pictures, particularly those at rest, because they created all kinds of wonder. Geometrical arrangements against a wall. And mystery about who was the owner, where were they, when would they be back, where have they been, where were they going.
This is just about my first bicycle picture, if Florence, on a narrow street, in beautiful Tuscan light.

When I was in college I walked the outer cape beach from Eastham to Provincetown. Perhaps the most spectacular scene I saw was a view like this at Newcomb Hollow. This image is from a revisit to Newcomb Hollow many years later. But always spectacular. ~Robert
A note about printing: I’ve done darkroom and now digital printing since my college days. I know how to make a good print and I know what is my favorite print equipment. I know what are the good papers and the good inks.
I have long been leery of the digital format as a threat to intellectual and creative property (so easy to copy) but I have also been stunned by its enabling power (so easy to create)
My bottom line is that all of this is mediated by the relationship between the artist and the audience. Mutual respect, honesty and trust.
I am in the process of evaluating and deciding options for making my work available as digital downloads in a responsible way.
This thought was given impetus by two recent discoveries. The graphic designer I work with, Jean Cousins has had success on Etsy with a set of digital designs she created and made available for digital download.
And, I purchased a $200 Ecotank all in one printer by Epson (model 2800) - this is new territory for me, the other printers in my studio cost $2,000 and up.
I popped a sheet of my favorite coated card stock paper, 8.5x11, into the 2800 printer and out came an archival print of one of our calendar covers that is 99% of the quality I can print on the more expensive equipment.
The lesson I take away from this is “you can try this at home- and get a good print”. This means that my audience can make a print at home that I am happy to have shown as a piece of my work .
if you can make a good print of my work at home with a $200 printer and the right paper (that 8.5x11 sheet cost $0.30), then I am happy to make my work available in sizes 8x10, 8.5x11, and 11x14 as digital downloads for you to print at home.
And I will support your efforts as much as I can without a physical visit.
As for the the other artists I publish, I will be talking with them individually to understand their wishes. We’ve all had instances of our work being appropriated without permission or compensation, so I respect their sensitivities and judgement.
For me, Florence has truly been a place of birth and rebirth. A number of big life transitions marked here. This is one of my favorite images for all those times and reasons. ~Robert

The name of Herreschoff is a classic of design among people who know sailing boats in New England. This is a twelve and a half footer, known affectionately by some as a “twelve”. This boat rested in Quissett Harbor boatyard and has a wooden hull.
I don’t usually talk about these things, but I did do a limited edition of archival prints of this image on rag paper some years ago, only five copies. They sold for prices between one and two thousand dollars.

In principle any $200, or less, inkjet printer with color photo capability cab make a high quality print with this file using photo quality inkjet paper. All my experience is with matte paper, but if you prefer a gloss or satin finish this should do just fine as well
Instructions: print this file at 100% on 8.5×11 photo inkjet paper, cut it down neatly to 7×10 using the cut marks provided, fold, and you have a fine art note card.
note: any matte paper for photo inkjet will give excellent results. I always use matte, but glossy and satin should work, I just have no experience with them. For your reference and convenience here is a link to the amazon listing of a typical low cost photo inkjet paper that I have experience with. The output quality on my $200 dollar printer is SUPERB.
A look to Iran in 1978 is like a look into a different world, a different time, almost a different universe. Given the comparisons of this image to a Vermeer, I think this is even more true. ~Robert

The name of Herreschoff is a classic of design among people who know sailing boats in New England. This is a twelve and a half footer, known affectionately by some as a “twelve”. This boat rested in Quissett Harbor boatyard and has a wooden hull.
I don’t usually talk about these things, but I did do a limited edition of archival prints of this image on rag paper some years ago, only five copies. They sold for prices between one and two thousand dollars.
A note about printing: I’ve done darkroom and now digital printing since my college days. I know how to make a good print and I know what is my favorite print equipment. I know what are the good papers and the good inks.
A year ago I purchased a $200 Ecotank all in one printer by Epson (model 2800) - this is new territory for me, the other printers in my studio cost $2,000 and up.
I popped a sheet of my favorite coated card stock paper, 8.5x11, into the 2800 printer and out came an archival print of one of our calendar covers that is 99% of the quality I can print on the more expensive equipment.
The lesson I take away from this is “you can try this at home- and get a good print”. This means that my audience can make a print at home that I am happy to have shown as a piece of my work .
In principle any $200, or less, inkjet printer with color photo capability cab make a high quality print with this file using photo quality inkjet paper. All my experience is with matte paper, but if you prefer a gloss or satin finish this should do just fine as well

A look to Iran in 1978 is like a look into a different world, a different time, almost a different universe. Given the comparisons of this image to a Vermeer, I think this is even more true. ~Robert

This view through the bridges is a classic and conveys both the beauty and the vitality of the Cape Cod Canal.

I have long been leery of the digital format as a threat to intellectual and creative property (so easy to copy) but I have also been stunned by its enabling power (so easy to create)
My bottom line is that all of this is mediated by the relationship between the artist and the audience. Mutual respect, honesty and trust.
I am in the process of evaluating and deciding options for making my work available as digital downloads in a responsible way.
This thought was given impetus by two recent discoveries. The graphic designer I work with, Jean Cousins has had success on Etsy with a set of digital designs she created and made available for digital download.
And, I purchased a $200 Ecotank all in one printer by Epson (model 2800) - this is new territory for me, the other printers in my studio cost $2,000 and up.

if you can make a good print of my work at home with a $200 printer and the right paper (that 8.5x11 sheet cost $0.30), then I am happy to make my work available in sizes 8x10, 8.5x11, and 11x14 as digital downloads for you to print at home.
And I will support your efforts as much as I can without a physical visit.
As for the the other artists I publish, I will be talking with them individually to understand their wishes. We’ve all had instances of our work being appropriated without permission or compensation, so I respect their sensitivities and judgement.
This calendar contains images of Florence in Tuscany, Italy by artist photographer Robert Manz.
