Vintage Pirate Life Wyeth Illustration Invitation
Vintage 1921 Magazine Pirate
A stunning gift, this Life Magazine cover from 1921 is titled "Stand and Deliver" -- illustrated by famed N.C. Wyeth. The cover portrays a band if pirates, swords up towards the flag bearing a skull and crossbones. Arrgh! This is a great gift for a pirate fan!
About Wyeth's Pirates
The Stand and Deliver original oil on Canvas was sold recently for $2,032,000, the first painting for the artist that broke the $1 million barrier at auction. This image of pirates was on the cover of Life Magazine's September 1921 issue. Wyeth was known to paint many pirates, which he also painted for other magazines and in Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. This pirate illustration is among his most dramatic. The original Stand and Deliver painting was estimated to sell between $1 and $1.5 million in the recent Sotheby's auction, but sold for more -- purchased by an anonymous buyer for $2,032,000.
About NC Wyeth
At 21 years old, N.C. Wyeth created his first illustration for the Post in 1903. By 1911, he got his first book commission for Treasure Island. Thus his illustrious career included valiant and heroic character illustrations for 4,000 magazines and books. In addition to pirate illustrations, NC Wyeth's art included American Westerns, knights, boy's adventure books, and other classics.

I customised and ordered 30 of these cards for my Mum, to be used as guest place cards on the birthday table at our local restaurant venue.
The design caught my eye while I was perusing all the samples, and thought it was a great novel idea for my steam train enthusiast Dad.
I chose the larger postcard sized one, as the font would be large for older eyes, and customised it keeping the Rail Ticket theme on the front, with venue address/date/time of party, and on the back I added another steam train and various 80 speed limit/rail signages. The trick is not to overdo it or it looks too busy. I also added at one end of the front side, a word of thanks from the birthday boy.
Champagne Shimmer was chosen for the finish and it suited the card so well, as it gave an glimmer of elegance and richness, loved it.
During the party, I had guests come up to me and say how much they liked this quirky card.
My Mum was ecstatic (she is hard to please at the best of times) and my Dad liked them very much also.
Upon leaving the party venue, I noticed that not one single card was left behind at our guest table.....so to me it spoke volumes, that the guests appreciated the cards enough to want to take them home as mementos.
I couldn't have wished for a better place card for Dad's 80th birthday party. Thanks Zazzle! Very happy with the finished product. Design turned out well, front and back.
I kept with original background and border colouring, which went extremely well with my choice of Champagne Shimmer for the finish. I kept to minimal colour pictures added on the back, they printed up very well. All crisp and clean. The cards looked a million dollars!

It was better than I could’ve ever imagined and so easy to create! Why spend hundreds of dollars to get a invitation company to produce something you can do yourself! Better than I could’ve ever imagined!
