I was very pleased to pick up these 3 wonderful postcards a few weeks ago. They are all from Raphael Tuck's In Dickens Land series, although each from a different series. What's also great about these postcards for me is that I've discovered a new postcard artist, P. Fletcher-Watson.
The Leather Bottle, Cobham, published by Raphael Tuck in the 'In Dickens Land' series II, number 1164, c.1909
Charles Dickens's House, Gadshill, published by Raphael Tuck in the 'In Dickens Land' series I, number 1163, c.1904
The White Hart, Hook, Surrey, published by Raphael Tuck in the 'In Dickens Land' series, number 1350, c.1903
As always 100's more vintage postcards on my web site

great score! i've read so much about these cards but never actually found any myself...
ReplyDeleteThe Tuck cards are truly gems. I really like these three views with muted colors and GREAT sky!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how far the series reached. So many places consider themselves part of the Dickens' heritage.
ReplyDeleteThese postcards are amazing--what a find! Wow! Thank you so much for sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteHappy PFF!
What a great find, combining art and literature.
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with any of those places. I like the way "Greeting 1903" is on the side of the last one.
ReplyDeleteLovely postcards!
ReplyDeleteThose are just beautiful. I love the lovely colors.
ReplyDeleteThey're beautiful, they're really beautiful :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd again, I'd like to find some picture of those places today, so I can see how they look now, even if I don't live near them ^^
What beautiful cards! What Uapa said made me curious ... I wonder what those places look like today?
ReplyDeleteHappy PFF!
What great finds! Charles Dickens house is the best.
