Fine Art Cards and Postcards

This gallery contains scans from Fine Art Cards and Postcards found in shops and galleries from Australia and abroad. Many of these works can be commonly seen on the internet, while others may not be so easily found (such as the cards produced by specific Art galleries).

Click on an image and a new window will open to display it full size. Just close the new window when you have finished viewing the picture. You are welcome to copy and use any of these images, so long as you credit this site (theARTwerx) as the source. Feel free to link to these pages, but please don't link directly to the images themselves, as this 'steals' my limited bandwidth. For more information on these cards and images see the LINKS at the bottom of the page.
