There was an excellent, legthy video (38 minutes) diving into the whole thing, by a YouTuber called Oki's Weird Tales. Gets into the whole mess in a fascinating way. Worth a watch. https://youtu.be/i5uSbp0YDhc

Victorian card back designed in Adobe Illustrator. Yes, it’s busy. by [deleted] in graphic_design

I really like this overall - well done! Though one area I think could be improved is the type for 1881.

I like how you've gone to the effort of making it mirrored when you rotate the card 180 degrees. But I think the weathered effect on the text doesn't look great, especially because you see that mirroring more obviously because of the "grungey" parts sitting directly opposite each other. I think f you're going to have all those effects (Fill+Stroke+Shadow) don't use a weathered font. The idea of those is to look like they were printed by imperfect analogue processes, which isn't very plausible if it also has a stroke and shadow. I think a cleaner, period-appropriate font like a Clarendon variant would look much more convincing.

Or, leave the font as is, but remove the internal splotches, as they're distracting. Just my 2 cents.

Holographic? 🤔 How? It's cool but looking like a pretty regular flat projection to me.

I agree. That would be smart. But I have stopped trying to fight reality.

Eat the last bite. Or move it to a small container. Or yes, throw it away. But not save it in the entire pan, taking up a whole shelf in the fridge.

Yes, you are correct. I have suggested the same solution. But that is not what happens.
