Step into the enchanting world with these captivating postcards and cigarette cards from the early 20th century. Immerse yourself in the whimsical illustrations of Florence Kate Upton, as she brings to life a Golliwog and a Penny Wooden Doll, evoking a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. These charming characters transport us back to the 1920s, where innocence and imagination reigned supreme. In stark contrast, another postcard depicts a haunting scene from an unknown era - a woman having her tongue cut off. This macabre image serves as a reminder that European history is not without its dark chapters. It leaves us pondering the depths of human cruelty and reflecting on our own capacity for compassion. Rie Cramer's exquisite artwork takes center stage in several postcards capturing different months throughout the year. In April: The Birds, August: Field Flowers, and July: Waves, Cramer masterfully captures nature's beauty through delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors. Each card invites you to revel in Europe's picturesque landscapes during this bygone era. Charles Folkard transports us down the rabbit hole with his Alice in Wonderland-inspired creations. Alice and Her Friends beckon us into their whimsical world while A Mad Tea-Party immerses us in Lewis Carroll's surreal universe. These delightful illustrations capture both the essence of European storytelling traditions and Folkard's unique artistic vision. As autumn arrives, Rie Cramer enchants us once again with October: Falling Leaves - an ode to nature's ever-changing palette during this season of transition. November brings forth The Witch - an enigmatic figure shrouded in mystery who embodies both fear and fascination. K. Nixon pays homage to Lewis Carroll yet again with Oh Dear Oh Dear said the White Rabbit, I Shall Be So Late - reminding us that time waits for no one even within fantastical realms.
