Discovering England through Postcards

Lately, I am getting more illustrated postcards than pictures. I like both, of course. So let's dedicate a post to some traditional postcards that give a sense of travelling and discovering new places...

Chichester cathedral and the statue
of St Richard by Philip Jackson

The White Cliffs of Dover 

Minstrels Gallery, Exeter Cathedral

The Museum of Somerset, Taunton

St Mary Magdalene, Taunton

Postcards sent by Laura (the UK).

Woman on Postcards | J is for Janneke


Fiep Westendorp is a  (favourite!) Dutch illustrator who became popular due to her long collaboration with writer Annie M.G. Schmidt with their creation of Jip and Janneke

Postcard sent by by Romina (The Netherlands). Actually, it is the second time I receive it (which I don't mind, of course).
