Description
I collect vintage postcards for several reasons; the history, the sense of travel, the personal interest, but most of all, the artwork. I am a big fan of commercial and industrial art, much of which was outstanding and on par with any fine art that has been produced. Commercial art not only had to look attractive, it had a job to do. It had to work very hard for a living selling products.
While early postcard art may never be considered sophisticated, it abounds with character and charm. As a tribute to that art form I have turned some of those postcard images into travel posters. I have re-designed, restored and enhanced the authentic images and designed borders with a similar linen texture that was common to vintage postcard stock.
