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.

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.

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.

The cards themselves are very pretty until you go to cut them out, There is four cards to a page and because they were not printed "square" or aligned properly, when you cut them out they are not all the same size. I find that this is true of the all the postcard book that I have bought that have 4 cards per page. The little books that have one per page are much better.

Very cute and nostalgic..I received lots of compliments on the postcard idea as well as how unique they were.

I was under the impression that these cards were regular Christmas cards and not postcards. Hence the 3 stars, otherwise I like them alot.

Nice Clipart...some good old classic generic clipart.
I scan it in...wish it was already scanned in.

Great price...
You should be happy.
