This card sends warmth and nostalgic uplift - whether to check in, mark a birthday, or simply say you crossed my mind. A summer city scene bursts with life as children play in the arc of a fire hydrant’s spray, their silhouettes caught mid-laughter against the clean lines of city buildings. In Fireplug, Samuel Joseph Brown, Jr. captures childhood’s vitality with elegant economy, using the stark contrasts of linocut to suggest motion, memory, and community.
