See It On A Postcard's Thursday Postcard Hunt is shopping for Vegetables and Fruit
Inge Löök turns her eye for detail to the growing season. I can spot leeks and squashes and something recently dug up lying on the bench. I wonder what is going to join the marigolds to be transported by bicycle?

Bird and Pomegranate wallpaper - Kathleen Kersey (b1889)
|
The pomegranate has appeared in myth and art for centuries and Kathleen Kersey (a member of the Morris and Co Design Studio) turned it into a design for wallpaper in 1911. This was the last wallpaper produced by Morris and Co. I don't know anything more about Kathleen Kersey apart from the fact she became Mrs Allngton and was still working as a designer in 1955.

These are both very attractive postcards. I like the pomegranate one, but as a card, not wall paper.
I think you might need a very large and grand room, (or a small washroom) for the pomegranate wallpaper. It's sadly not surprising that K Kersey was relegated to obscurity. The sunflowers seem to be keeping an eye on that cat...
I do like that pomegranate one, as wall paper! Very pretty. Nice garden card too, little details to enjoy.
Both postcards are fine illustrations. Pomegranate season is starting here, and... they are delicious!
