Wonderful Christmas Postcards, December 17, 2007
This review is from: Old-Fashioned Santa Claus Cards: 24 Cards (Dover Postcards) (Paperback)
This is a very beautiful way to share Christmas with others. The old fashioned pictures in a high gloss finish are so bright and cheerful and very Christmasy. Everyone who received one of these cards really appreciated them.

Old-time charm and cheer!, January 12, 2011
This review is from: Old-Fashioned Santa Claus Cards: 24 Cards (Dover Postcards) (Paperback)
These 24 old-fashioned Santa Claus cards come in a glossy, colorful 11 x 8-1/4" book. There are 4 cards per page. They are easy to remove, with instructions in the front of book.
The book includes a history of the postcard with fascinating facts. The cards are fairly small, about 4 x 5-1/2", which is an advantage if you don't want to write a long letter. I sometimes like to send these cards in a larger envelope with a separate letter, especially if mailing overseas.
Various artists are represented in this collection. I wrote down the names of my favorites and plan to look for more of their cards in the future. The back of the card identifies the artist, if known, or the original date and country of the publisher. All of this adds to the card for me, as an artist.
This is Santa in every mode of transport. Sometime he's astride a horse, sometimes in a biplane. I liked every card. I highly recommend this collection.

Classics, October 15, 2010
This review is from: Old-Fashioned Santa Claus Cards: 24 Cards (Dover Postcards) (Paperback)
I have become obsessed with Victorian Post Card Art.
I love this collection - the cards are a little larger than anticipated, which is great because I will mostly be using them for reference / inspiration material for my own sketching.
Nice.
