The postcards included in this little book are nice. There are six reproductions of Kahlo's paintings, including
1) Self-Portrait (1926)
2) The Deceased Dimas (1937)
3) Doña Rosita Morillo (1944)
4) Girl with Death Mask
5) Self-Portrait with Monkeys
6) Still Life with Parrot

So, be aware that only 2 of the 6 cards are self-portraits. Although we really like Deceased Dimas and Girl with Death Mask, we know a lot of other Kahlo fans who mostly prefer her self-portraits. The cards are good quality, but the only thing we didn't really like is that since they are bound, the perforated edge really stands out. If you want to use it for a note, you would need to trim that edge. These cards are best to use in paper arts, scrapbooking, or some kind of craft-- not for actually writing notes or displaying them.

We would recommend Frida Kahlo Postcard Book (Collectible Postcards) if you are looking for high-quality cards suitable for framing or display. However, this is a nice alternative at a very low price. (Can't beat the price!)

If you love Frida Kahlo as I do, you will want this small treasure of images so that you can drop them in cards to friends, use them as images on packages and letters, or even as bookmarks. I actually turned the image on the front cover into a bookmark for myself. This is a great add-on gift for the artist and writer in your life - you know, that person who is hard to buy for! I've given it to all my poet friends and am using it for my writing classes as a gift at the end of a long successful day of writing our hearts out!
