Illustrations



I always, if asked, say that I enjoy postcards showing art of any type. As a result I've received art of almost every description and, of course I realise now there are some styles I like more than others. Great favourites of mine are book illustrations such as the ones above.


I don't know if I can describe this second group as illustration. They are reproductions of covers of books and magazines.  Now, is that cover art? Or could they be described as illustrations too?

  4. These are great postcards and they are art, to me anyway. The one book cover postcard is done by Alphonse Mucha

  5. I love your collection of book art postcards. How fun! I've never thought of collecting postcards like this! Then again, I rarely see these types of postcards in the store. Did you collect these while traveling or at a particular type of store? … or were they sent to you?

    I look forward to seeing more of your A-Z postcard posts this month! :) Loving your challenge so far!
