Celebrate the changing of the seasons with the King Winter and Mother Earth Postcard by Dutch illustrator Lot Bouwes. This profound fairy tale print depicts the icy majesty of King Winter retreating as Mother Earth prepares her root children for the coming spring, lit by the gentle glow of their lanterns beneath the soil.
Lot Bouwes creates these atmospheric scenes using pastel chalks which she meticulously blends into the paper with her hands. This intimate, tactile technique gives the snow its crystalline shimmer and the underground world a cozy, protective warmth.
Printed on premium 300-gram paper, this A6 postcard is an essential piece for a Waldorf nature table during the late winter and early spring. It perfectly illustrates the story of the "Root Children" and the transition from frost to bloom. Display it in a wooden holder or send a message of renewal to a loved one—the back is blank for your personal note.
