Antique & Vintage Postcards

Moonlight shimmers across the glassy surface of Ullswater in the English Lake District — one of Wordsworth's beloved lakes — in this atmospheric hand-tinted art postcard signed by artist G. Preenam, numbered "19" in a series, where a lone rowboat drifts near the near shore and a tiny sailboat catches the pale glow on the water while dark fells loom beyond a small settlement; sent as a New Year's greeting, the reverse carries a warm wish from someone named P. Lethbridge to a J.S. Morton at 19 Ware Road, Hereford, the card traveling with a King George V 1d red stamp through a busy machine cancel.
