Boy on a Flying Horse - Encouragement Greeting Card

BLANK INSIDE

Would you believe this fantastical image is from an encyclopedia? The 1922 edition of Compton's Pictured Encyclopedia, in fact. By Milo Winter and titled Ambition, it graced the introductory pages, accompanied by the noble words, "To inspire ambition, to stimulate the imagination, to provide the inquiring mind with accurate information told in an interesting style, and thus lead into broader fields of knowledge, such is the purpose of this work." Even without delving into this rich backstory, the illustration alone makes it a perfect candidate for an encouragement card, serving as a powerful reminder to aim for the stars!

Milo Winter (1888 - 1956) was an American artist and illustrator known for his contributions to the world of children's literature.

His artistic legacy extends beyond books, as his illustrations have adorned everything from magazines to advertisements.
