It's a coincidence - I finally got a chance to scan these tonight, and there's no better time to share them! My grandmother and I are currently spring-cleaning her house, and last week she was going to recycle a lot of the old cards she'd received on various occasions. As I love vintage paintings and illustrations, and am researching old postcards/greetings cards for my current project, I asked if I could keep a few, and the ones that I kept were mainly congratulatory cards for the birth of my aunt, two uncles, and my mum. Sadly I do not know of the artists - there aren't any signatures on the illustrations nor details on the back of the cards as far as I can tell, but if anyone does recognise them or know how to find out let me know in the comments!
Happy Mother's Day to all the mums, and to my own lovely mum :)
I really love all the rich colours and attention to detail - I really hope to get some of this in my own work for the upcoming degree show!
