Winter Landscape
Caspar David Friedrich
Winter Landscape, 1811

In this Caspar David Friedrich painting, a man lies against a large boulder in a vast, snow covered field. He has cast aside his crutches and uses his free hands to pray, asking, presumably, for the deliverance an arduous winter demands from its captives. Psychologically and spiritually tense, the scene still reverberates with the possibility of relief, a distant cathedral gesturing toward warmth, endurance, and eventual salvation. Send to the person who needs a little encouragement to make it through the winter months, hoping they can keep their resolutions, or at least keep it together, through February.

From the people who send them
The handwriting doesn't look printed. My mom asked if I'd written it myself. I said yes.
— Blake, LA
Arrived in four days. I'd braced for longer.
— Ian, Chicago
Sent it to a friend I hadn't seen since college. He sent me a photo of it on his side table a week later.
— Dave, Philly
My wife sent it to me on a random Tuesday. No occasion. That was the point.
— Eddie, Tampa
Kept it on my shelf next to my books. Doesn't look out of place. That's the highest compliment I can give a card.
Chelsey, New York
My little brother graduated in May. I live across the country. This was the closest I could get to being there.
— Jared, Chicago
Put one in every welcome bag for a networking event I hosted. Got emails afterward asking how I'd handwritten them all. I told them my secret.
