Mills, watermills and windmills

Following my recent departure away from topographical postcards, I have ended up returning to them quicker that I thought ... and I think the cards shown below speak for themselves as to why. I had intended this blog's post to be about windmills, but when I searched my folder for the word 'mill', these beautiful postcards came up, some of which I'd completely forgotten about, so instead I have decided to share these today.

All of the postcards below are artist drawn, although I have only been able to find an artist name on one of them. The C.W.Faulkner panel card is quite an interesting one, printed (or actually possibly mounted) on card several times thicker than a normal postcard.

Water mill, by the artist F.W.Hayes, published by Meissner and Buch, serie 1789

Shiplake lock and mill, Oxfordshire, published by B.B.London Ltd

Agwill Mill, South Devon. Panel postcard published by C.W.Faulkner

Iffley Mill, Oxfordshire, published by S.Hildesheimer, c.1905
