An opportunity to get an extensive collection of iconic, stylised, humorous and charming postcards from Mabel Lucie Attwell, and a companion book.
Fair to good to very good overall vintage condition, items intact, with no additional marks.
Usual handling/minor wear and tear. As there are so many postcards it is difficult to accurately identify/represent all ‘damage’ per se, but I have tried. Note that in general there are slight creases/bends to a few of the cards, mostly to the corners.
