A Philosopher Lecturing on the Orrery Solar System Card
The title of the piece is "A Philosopher Lecturing on the Orrery". The painting was done by Joseph Wright of Derby in 1766. The painting depicts a teacher giving a lecture about the solar system to his students. The teacher is using an orrery, which is a mechanical model of the solar system. Some people believe that the teacher in the painting is modelled after John Whitehurst, but others believe it bears a resemblance to a painting of Isaac Newton. The orrery demonstration uses a lamp to mimic the sun. - This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

Really pleased with the card quality. The perfect theme to personalize a birthday celebration. Birthday greeting combined with a Christmas wish for my nieces Christmas Birthday. Perfect! These colours really pop on this Matte finish. The cute funny monkey expressions add humour to a birthday card surprise.

I needed a nice looking 90th Birthday card for a very dear friend. I selected the sample that would work for me, and added the name. I was so surprised on the fast delivery, and very pleased with the results. My card looked so much richer than on the web-site. Such an original, great looking 90th birthday card. I will be definitely ordering more cards in the next little while. I certainly recommend Zazzle products. Amazing designs...
