About the book

A stunning collection of hand-coloured cards from the early decades of the 20th century. During this time, the picture postcard provided an immediate and direct form of cheap communication. Made by anonymous photographers and hand-coloured by thousands of unknown women, these cards became one of the most popular forms of art. Painted Ladies proves a colourful and fascinating insight into the fashion, culture and interests of the early 20th century. This is the perfect gift book and makes fascinating inroads into this mesmerising art form.
