DESCRIPTION:
Colorful images include an osprey, woodpecker, penguin, toucan, cormorant, and other birds.. A prodigiously talented pair of English twins, the Detmold brothers made their publishing debut at the age of 13 in 1899 with Pictures from Birdland. These 12 postcards offer highlights from their collection of realistic avian illustrations
"A pretty solid collection" according to Ella Kwint. A lovely (printed in the USA) collection with some of Detmolds' best; those bird-painting twins could make any winged creature look majestic or even a little bit formidable! Their birds always feel so vibrantand with no repeats in this set, it's no surprise that people might want to frame these. At just about 50 cents a pop, the value is good and I'm glad I purchased. But as an active Postcrosser, I judge . Puff said Detmold Illustrations. If you are familiar with Detmold's illustrations, you'll want these postcards to send to special friends and family. The bird artwork is fantastic as is all of Detmold's artwork. Another nice thing about these illustrations, they are nice enough to frame. A grouping of these small illustrations would be wonderful! A great buy from Amazon.com.. "what I was looking for, had lovely images" according to KWarner. Beautiful images of the Detmold's art, the two Detmold brothers. Hard to find images.
