Christo in Central Park, New York
The actual name: The Gates, Project for Central Park, New York City–as a collage, 2003. It helps to know who Christo is and what he does. Card was mailed in 2010 with three different stamps, and address sticker, and a Seattle postmark. Grade: 3

Lotus Flower (Sin Myeong-yeon) (S. Korea)
Unused 4-7/8″ x 6-7/8″ card issued by the National Museum of Korea. On the front, it looks normal. On the reverse, though perfectly clean, the printing goes all over and looks lopped off, but maybe it was designed that way. Grade: 1

Code: 30400172
Price: $2.00
Contemplative Bodhisattva, Gilt Bronze (S. Korea)
Unused 4-7/8″ x 6-7/8″ card issued by the National Museum of Korea. On the front, it looks normal. On the reverse, though perfectly clean, the printing goes all over and looks lopped off, but maybe it was designed that way. We doubt that. Grade: 1

Code: 30400173
Price: $2.00
Anniversary of birth of Saint Bernadette (France)
Unused card commemorating the 150th anniversary of the birth of St. Bernadette, from 1994. What you see in the scan is an actual stamp, and then the appropriate Nevers postmark. The reverse is unwritten now, but had a notation that has been erased. Grade: 2

Field Court, Gray’s Inn (Raphael Tuck) (England)
Somewhat to our surprise, Google does not yield many results for this particular card in mailed condition. But it’s a good Tuck card and here is the full description: Oilette card 6261 captioned “FieldCourt Gray’s Inn”, mailed in London in 1927 with stamp and full postmark. If you are collecting Raphael Tuck cards, this would be a nice addition. Grade: 1

Code: 30400180
Price: $19.00
Grand Duchess Anna Leopoldovna (Russia)
The biographical caption in English on the reverse doesn’t say where the painting is located. The card has three stamps and a large, full postmark. Lower left corner has a bit of postal bumping. Grade: 2

Code: 30400181
Price: $2.00
Face on the Bar Room Floor (Colorado, USA)
Unused Dexter Press card 82816-B (and #3060) of this famous painting at the Teller House. One would not have expected such a nice and evocative poem to end quite that way … Grade: 1

Code: 30400182
Price: $1.00
The Face on the Barroom Floor, Central City (Colorado, USA)
Just for fun, we repeat the caption on this unused “local” card: “Face on the Barroom Floor, in Teller House … visited by notables from every part of the world, including President Ulysses S. Grant.” We visited once. Do we qualify? Grade: 1

Code: 30400183
Price: $2.00
Fording the Platte River
Most likely the people portrayed in this 1866 William H. Jackson sketch didn’t have Nebraska’s Interstate 80 in mind. Unused Dexter Press card 13923-B. Grade: 1

Code: 30400184
Price: $3.00
Edith, Philco name series
Back in 1906, Maggie in England sent this card to Miss (somebody), and we do very much hope that person’s name was Edith–or what’s the point? But if your name is Edith, or you have an understanding friend named Edith, could there be a more perfect gift? Stamp and full postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 30400185
Price: $9.00
Paivi Hintsanen artwork (Finland)
Mailed in 2011, stamp and illegible postmark. Grade: 1

Sichuan, Mianzhu woodblock painting (folio) (PR China)

These were issued by the China National Philatelic Corporation, and there’s a historical description in Chinese and English on the reverse of the folio cover. Grade: 1

Price: $35.00
Sichuan, Mianzhu woodblock painting (folio) – example (PR China)

Price: $35.00
The Last Supper wood carving, Nashville (Tennessee)

Code: 30400188
Price: $1.00

Code: 30400189

Painting on Amate paper, Guerrero (Mexico)

Code: 30400190
Price: $0.50
Office Party
Dean Hudson wrote this fine novel in 1965. The card came later. This one (5″ x 6-3/4″) was mailed in Finland in 2011 with three stamps, none of which were postmarked, and the blue Priority label. Grade: 4

Code: 30400191
Price: $4.00
Lviv, multiple views (Ukraine)
“Multiple views” doesn’t do justice to the card. You can see how much is on the front; the reverse has five stamps, of which one is a brilliant triangular representation of something completely unknown to us. Different postmarks, and address on an affixed label. Where’s that legendary Australian explorer Bronc Morret when we need him? Grade: 3

Code: 30400192
Price: $8.00
Icons
Mailed from the USA in 2011 with a 98-cent stamp. Orange postal barcoding on the front, black on the reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 30400194
Price: $5.00
Ivan Bilibin artwork (Russia)
Hard to know what to say of this card, whose front speaks for itself and whose reverse is a morass of printed drawings, poetry (?), message, six stamps, and two postmarks. Makes the card very interesting, though. Grade: 2

Code: 30400195
Price: $5.00
Working Girls
Card was printed in, and mailed from, Finland, with stamp, postmark, Priority label, and orange postal barcoding on the reverse. Grade: 2
