This is averynice group of PATRIOTIC POSTCARDS showing GEORGE WASHINGTON and honoring his Birthday and life. These postcards are ANTIQUE from the early 1900s.The postcards are colorful and attractive. This is a SET of postcards that are ARTIST SIGNED by Veenfliet, a famous USA artist.

The publisher of these antique postcards is the International Art Publishing Co. (IAP) who published in Germany during 1895-1915, during the "Golden Age of Postcards". IAP is considered one of the best publishing companies for quality postcards of that era. They published holiday and souvenir postcards. Three of their most famous artists were Ellen Clapsaddle, Chapman, and R. Veenfliet, all who were highly popular with collectors.Clapsaddle'swork with children especially is well regarded and sought after.IAP was later acquired by the Wolf & Co. who continued publishing postcards with Clapsaddle. IAP postcards always bring a premium and are sought after by collectors.
The postcards are UNPOSTED (3) and POSTED (5) with cancel dates of 1910-15. The postcards were "PRINTED IN GERMANY" during the "Golden Age of Postcards" (1908-1915). They have divided backs.
