To ask what this card with wood from 64 AD is?

[Aram1nta]

I've just come across it and google isn't throwing anything at me. Anyone shed any further light?

It's a small piece of wood on the front..

Damn. Won't let me post another pic. It basically is a plain Xmas card made by Stephen Einhorn and signed by 4 people in 2000.

Says the wood is from the first roman port facilities built in 64AD

' this card has been especially commissioned for you. It was designed and made by Stephen Einhorn on behalf of Publicis to commemorate the end of this millennium and to wish you every success and happiness for the proceeding one'

Where did you come across it?

When you say Google isn't throwing anything at you, do you mean specifically about the card or the artist?

Hmm, not sure where it's from. I found it when clearing my late parents house recently

@DontCallMeShitley yes I can see lots about Stephen but nothing about this card. And why it would have been specially commissioned for my mum and dad

Google Stephen Einhorn and Thames Wood among other articles

It's not addressed to them or anything. And it's just literally a bit of boring folded card

Ooh that's closer @DontCallMeShitley

Could you message the artist and ask?

Cross post - you could contact him and ask, there is a section for commissions on the website.

I just looked him up & it mentions the wood in the link below-

Is this any help?

Cross post! Im sorry about your parents, very intriguing though.

Ooh very interesting

@Whitewinespritzer thank you, I appreciate that. Tough times of course

That's a good idea to message him - he's bound to remember making the most boring card in the world

Publicis are a PR company so maybe it was a general business mail shot to contacts at the end of the millenium. ‘You’ could have meant 1000 corporate contacts rather than your parents specifically.

@Notageek yep that makes a lot of sense. It's not addressed to anyone so I bet it was part of a PR thing.

I worked in the steel industry for a while and was given an old nail in perspex or something, a really old one that had some significance. May have been something like that.
