One of my favourite postcard artists is A.R.Quinton (1853–1934). Alfred Robert Quinton was an English watercolour artist who mainly painted British landscapes and villages. Hundreds of his works were published as postcards by J.Salmon. It's been a while since I've come across any but was delighted last weekend when I came by a small treasure trove of them. Here are a few of my favourites.

Three out of four of these wonderful watercolours have a special resonance for me - I have no connection to Bexhill! Thank you for posting.
