Lot of 196 deeply embossed & airbrushed floral postcards. Selected by their original owner for their beauty & generally fine-excellent
condition. These are thick cards to support the deep embossing & the added backing
that was usually necessary to provide a smooth writing surface if they were mailed. {That
backing also helps the edges avoid the wear more typical on thinner 90-year old
postcards.} Airbrush art is usually done in just a few colors, with the deep embossing
aiding the viewer's imagination. The deep embossing gives a tactile 3-dimensional quality
that makes it impossible to represent any of the postcards well in a 2-dimensional scan.
Hand-done art, so no 2 can be exactly alike. 1908 - 1914 is the typical range of dates on
those that were mailed, but many were simply put aside in albums & appreciated for
their beauty. Captions were typically greetings such as Happy Birthday, Hearty
Congratulations, Love to Sister, etc. All these postcards feature flowers as a major
element of their design. Together they can form stunning groups--whether they be in your
album, displayed in framed gardens of your creation, or (yes--someday the art world will
wake up) shown in a museum. These are not shopworn cards, so we shall ship them all
sleeved to preserve their condition. $125.00 is our wholesale price,
including postage to US addresses. afwafw*
