LEONARDO DA VINCI ... VITRUVIAN MAN HI-DEF CARD
LEONARDO DA VINCI ... VITRUVIAN MAN HI-DEF CARD. Circa 1490 Italian High Renaissance drawing showing human proportions of a man fitting in a circle and a square according to writings of ancient Roman Architect Vitruvius.
Translation of upper portion: Vitruvius, the architect, says in his architectural work that the measurements of man are in nature distributed in this manner, that is 4 fingers make a palm, 4 palms make a foot, 6 palms make a cubit, 4 cubits make a man, 4 cubits make a footstep, 24 palms make a man and these measures are in his buildings. If you open your legs enough that your head is lowered by 1/14 of your height and raise your arms enough that your extended fingers touch the line of the top of your head, let you know that the centre of the ends of the open limbs will be the navel, and the space between the legs will be an equilateral triangle.
Translation of lower portion: The length of the outspread arms is equal to the height of the man. From the hairline to the bottom of the chin is one-tenth of the height of the man. From below the chin to the top of the head is one-eighth of the height of the man. From above the chest to the top of the head is one-sixth of the height of the man. From above the chest to the hairline is one-seventh of the height of a man. From the chest to the head is a quarter of the height of the man. The maximum width of the shoulders contains a quarter of the man. From the elbow to the tip of the hand is a quarter of the height of a man; the distance from the elbow to the armpit is one-eighth of the height of the man; the length of the hand is one-tenth of the man. The virile member is at the half height of the man. The foot is one-seventh of the man. From below the foot to below the knee is a quarter of the man. From below the knee to the root of the member is a quarter of the man. The distances from the chin to the nose and the hairline and the eyebrows are equal to the ears and one-third of the face.

I placed my order for invitations for my 50th birthday party,not knowing what to expect when they came as I didn't know of anyone who had used this company before. When they arrived I was very happy with how they looked and the quality of the card they were printed on. I have sent my invitations out and each of my guests have said how great they look and of course I have given them the website so they too can use the company for invitations in the future. I wouldn't hesitate using Zazzle again. The design and colour was exactly what I saw on the website,quite vibrant and of course I love pink and they look great!

Great quality, however one suggestion is, is it possible to send samples of other paper types as well? I really wanted to order another paper type but did not want to risk it as I didn't know what the paper type would be like. Online description was good but still felt that I was not sure of another paper type. Happy with product overall.
Best modern double happiness design I saw online. Quite a few old fashioned ones out there but this design is definitely a standout! Great printing quality! Great finish.
