EASTBOURNE, 'The Seaside Girl' postcard,
posted 1907
A little corner/edge wear.
The small or cropped picture that
may appear in eBay search results, or at the top of this page,
is usually
colour balanced (by me) to make it more clear in the listings,
all other scans
are 'as is',
except for some cropped enlargements that I may enhance to make clearer.
These other enlargements within the listing, if present, are there to provide more detail.
The picture hosted by eBay is often a cropped enlargement from one of the cards
below,
I hope this is clear!
|
All my art cards can be a mixture of
postcards and/or Museum/Gallery cards.
All are generally in Very Good Condition. Many are out of print.
Lots are mostly a mixture of used (posted or written on) and unused.
Lots can also be mixed old and 'modern' cards. Please look at the scans.
If there is a particular artist you would like me to list,
please ask.
I have about 20,000 artist cards, arranged by artist surname, for clarity please
give the artist's full name and dates if possible.

PICTURES
are hosted on my own web space and
can be removed at any time
after the
auction
-
so if you want a permanent record of what you have bid on
please feel free to copy the picture/s from this page - I do not keep copies of
them.
I
often provide enlarged scans, especially of RPs. You are welcome to copy
these for your own use.
(right-click on the picture & choose 'Save Picture As...' - don't forget where
you save it!)
Note also that I often scan cards at different dpi within the same lot depending
upon what I want to emphasise.

The following appears on all my postcard sales regardless of what is written in
the description,
however, if I describe something in particular as, for example,
‘mint’ or 'VGC' (Very Good Condition),
then that description
supersedes what follows: Condition is generally
good to very good &
can be a mix of postally used / unused (in any proportion) unless otherwise
stated.
N.B.: Not all ‘Art’-type cards
(e.g. some of
those from museums & galleries) are postcard-backed.
Any numbers or letters in square brackets
in the title are my references.
ANY SIZES GIVEN ARE APPROXIMATE.
POSTCARD SIZES
All sizes given are approximate, with some exceptions there are 2 main sizes:
Approx 5.5" x 3.5" (approx 14 x 9 cm), mostly
older cards, generally pre-1960's.
Approx 6" x 4" (approx 15 x 10 cm), sometimes called 'modern' or 'continental'
size.
If sizes are significantly different or oversize I will usually say so.

Dave's
tips
People often ask what is
meant by 'RP'. RP means Real Photographic. The
difference between a Real Photographic postcard (RPPC) and a printed one
(made up of dots),
is easily seen under magnification - as I have illustrated below (New
Brighton Lighthouse). A small 10x magnifier (which
folds up, and can be kept with you while visiting fairs, antique shops
etc) can be bought from any good stamp accessories supplier or camera
shop. A Real Photo postcard can either have a glossy or matt
surface. |

Chromo-Litho cards
are neither of the above but are high quality cards printed by a method
that layers down solid colours, the design being first etched onto a
limestone block. Again, these can easily
be distinguished under magnification, as seen at right. These are
mostly pre-WWI and printed in 'Old Germany', e.g. Bavaria, Saxony, Prussia
etc. Photogravure
is a method whereby a photographic image is etched onto a copper plate and
printed from that. Under magnification they appear as very fine dots (much
finer than screen printed, shown above right). It is sometimes difficult
to tell the difference between photogravure & RP without a magnifier.

Did you
know?
Lighter fuel (highly refined petrol) removes finger prints and dirt
from glossy RPs.
'Clear Face Bags' - a much cheaper way of protecting postcards than
PVC pockets
- from stamp accessory suppliers. Also called 'Film Front Bags'.
Fruit trays (free from supermarkets!) are made from very light,
very strong, cardboard.
Perfect for postcard storage and ideal for mailing postcards when cut up.
Stamps - a knowledge of issuing dates (along with postage rates)
helps identify date of posting if the postmark is unclear.
