30-Year Collection of Rare Postcard Images on CD!
Images of over 6,000 postcards valued at $125,000!
These belonged to a collector who, over a period of 30 years, bought only the finest vintage postcards, the cream-of-the-crop, the best-of-the-best! The collector's eye for beauty was matched only by the desire for the best condition! Many vintage postcards in complete sets! Actual examples of a few of the jpeg images are shown below.
This collection of over 6,000 rare postcard images is strong in beautiful Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and Glamour! You'll see hundreds and hundreds of images of Raphael Kirchner, Alphonse Mucha, Philip Boileau, Harrison Fisher, and many other artists as listed below; Vintage 1940s Mutoscope Pinups; many Real Photos of Josephine Baker; and many gorgeous vintage advertising postcards including art deco, art nouveau, and poster style. Of special interest: a rare complete set of 54 "La Danza Macabra Europea" (gruesome WWI Propaganda), by Alberto Martini.
This collection was auctioned over a period of time at playle.com. Along with jpeg images of all the postcards, you'll find 2 descriptive catalogs right on the CD - one listed in sequence by numbers, and one listed by category. Both catalogs have PRICES REALIZED! You can see what each postcard lot sold for (in some cases no bid was received, so you will see the starting bid) ~ over $125,000 worth of rare postcards! This can be useful to anyone wanting to know the value of rare vintage postcards. A new feature on this CD is the ability to "click on" the lot number in the catalogs to see the images!
While strong in Art Nouveau, Italian Art Deco, and Glamour, it includes many other topics/categories such as......
