Hand-Painted Original Postcards

Wonderful collection of 32 hand-drawn and painted postcards, housed in clear plastic sleeves mounted within a period brown-cloth album and, as such, are easily removable (and begging to be displayed). Created by Barcelona artist Antoni de P. Rigau Tolosa (b. 1886), these enchanting cards, post-marked between 1908-1910, bear frequent illustrated cut-outs mounted atop images that capture either the Art Nouveau style of the period, or use images and scenes particular to a resident of Catalonia. Rigau was a highly-skilled illustrator best known for his fiesta posters.
