About This Design

The Fall of Icarus (by Jacob Peter Gowy) Postcard

The Fall of Icarus (by Jacob Peter Gowy) Postcard

This design features a painting by Jacob Peter Gowy (or Gouwy), who was a Flemish Baroque painter of history paintings and portraits. In Greek mythology, Icarus was the son of Daedalus, who created the Labyrinth on the island of Crete. When Icarus and Daedalus attempted to flee from Crete, using wings that the father had created from feathers bound to their body with wax. Icarus, however, flew too close to sun, causing the wax to melt and the man to fall down into the sea. His fall is commonly interpreted as a tragic symbol of hubris and overconfidence.

Exactly what I wanted, it is very difficult to acquire Vintage Australiana items. I am so please that I ordered 8 I will be using them for my scrap booking and Junk Journaling. Gorgeous, Zazzle produced and delivered exactly what I wanted.

Way better quality than I ever expected. I love the colours, font and quality of the card. I'm so pleased I found Zazzle as it is near impossible to purchase Vintage or Retro Australian memorabilia online. I chose this design when I purchased them. They are perfect for my projects. I was very specific about what I wanted. I know where to come now when I need to order similar items.

Perfect for the occasion I was using it for. I was able to delete the lines so I could put in more wording. Had an envelope so the address side wasn't necessary. Print quality and paper quality lovely.
