Buyer's Premium:

A substantial collection of vintage postcards, constructed from cardstock, displaying a diverse range of styles characteristic of the late 19th to mid-20th century. The collection includes humorous caricatures of children and adults, often bearing witty or punny captions such as “OH, CHEESE IT! YOU KNOW I LOVES YOU!” and “But I’m a little behind with the rent.” Also present are sentimental illustrations featuring animals, flowers, and festive scenes, exemplified by “Hearty greetings, Kind Thoughts and Good Wishes for a Happy Christmas.” Photographic examples include sepia-toned architectural views like “Ely Cathedral Clock Tower” and tinted landscapes such as “Seaside Whiffs.” Many cards bear English text and titles. Most cards are individually protected within clear plastic sleeves.
