Lot 1154
Large Lot of Hand Colored Photographic Post Cards. Continental, or Germany, c. 1900-1920. An interesting, and sometimes amusing collection of quality photographic cards, some Italian or French made, with bulk perhaps German, or certainly Dutch. Many with pretty ladies, or ladies of fashion. Others with "home and hearth"themes, separation from one's beloved, some with children, along with a few New Years {"Gelukkig Nieuwjaar"), and religious cards - including several quaintly amusing "St. Nick" (as a long bearded ancient Bishop) cards. The bulk of these with some color tinting in reds, greens, yellows, and occasionally blue. A few pieces are printed, rather than photos. A few are inscribed or are used postally, and these are all Dutch, around the time of World War I. Cards genrally fine or better, with some rounding or slight chipping of the corners. A wonderful group, and looking back they well convey the sad, yet sweet innocence that was lost after the War. Lot of over 100 pieces.
Estimated Value $250 - 350.
