Softcover. Edith Holden (illustrator). First edition. A collection of 30 postcards based on images of Edith Holden's beloved The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady. Holden was an English artist and art teacher, and in The Country Diary, she captured the natural world of her times. The images in this Postcard book are of her illustrations. Interestingly, The Country Diary, from which this Postcard book is derived, was not published until 1977, fifty-seven years after her death. It became an international best seller, with Britain's Sunday Times naming it in 2024 as one of "top 100 best-selling books of the last 50 years." (It was #12.) For framing, crafting, or memorable correspondence. "The beauty of the illustrations of British flora and fauna by Edith Holden is timeless." New. Rare in new condition. Perfectly pristine. No creases or markings of any kind, with a tight, unopened binding. Seller Inventory # 448
