Love without rules

Here is quite cute card, it's like an illustration to Madagascar movie :)

Also is discovered a new artist's name for me - Natalia Maroz.

Here is a quote from her website:

Reading and drawing have always been my passions and my particular love for poetry had a great impression on my work. I treat a line in a linocut as a line in a verse - both should be sharp and precise. Like a short piece of poetry can say more with less words than a long novel, a graphic image, laconic and powerful, can convey much "on a limited budget". Uniting strong concepts and expressive graphics, I create visual metaphors with multiple layers of meaning

The Lady's Smock Fairy, from Flower Fairies of the Spring, 1923

Postcard ID: HK-365044
Country: Hong Kong

Flower Fairies are illustrations by Cicely Mary Barker, created during the first half of the 20th century. Unable to go to school as a child because of her epilepsy, she was home-schooled and spent much of her time drawing and painting. Her artwork was influenced by illustrator Kate Greenaway and even more so by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, and she developed her talent as a member of the Croydon Art Society. Her flower fairy paintings, in particular, were driven by the Victorian popularity of fairies and fairy stories.

Also here is a stamp from series 'Landscapes of Hong Kong' issued in 2014 (I have 3 stamps from 12):

One Thousand and One Nights

Postcard ID: RU-2882935
Country: Russia

Oh, I love from childhood The Book of One Thousand and One Nights! I read it some times and think that I'll re-read it again in the future :) By the way, the postcard is colourful and wonderful!

One Thousand and One Nights is a collection of West and South Asian stories and folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights, from the first English language edition, which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment.

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahryār and his wife Scheherazade and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves. The stories proceed from this original tale; some are framed within other tales, while others begin and end of their own accord. Some editions contain only a few hundred nights, while others include 1,001 or more. The bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is occasionally used to express heightened emotion, and for songs and riddles. Most of the poems are single couplets or quatrains, although some are longer.

Alice in Wonderland by Sir John Tenniel

Postcard ID: UA-1139852
Country: Ukraine

Here is an illustration to one from the famous fairytales! I saw some version of film adaptation, but these illustration haven't seen before. I think that everyone knows about Alice, so put here information about Sir John Tenniel.

Sir John Tenniel was a British illustrator, graphic humourist and political cartoonist whose work was prominent during the second half of the 19th century. Tenniel is considered important to the study of that period’s social, literary, and art histories. Tenniel was knighted by Victoria for his artistic achievements in 1893.

Tenniel is most noted for two major accomplishments: he was the principal political cartoonist for Britain’s Punch magazine for over 50 years, and he was the artist who illustrated Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass.

Flower Fairies by Cicely Mary Barker

Postcard ID: EE-159973
Country: Estonia

This postcard is illustration made by Cicely Mary Barker.

Cicely Mary Barker (28 June 1895 – 16 February 1973) was an English illustrator best known for a series of fantasy illustrations depicting fairies and flowers. Barker’s art education began in girlhood with correspondence courses and instruction at the Croydon School of Art. Her earliest professional work included greeting cards and juvenile magazine illustrations, and her first book, Flower Fairies of the Spring, was published in 1923. Similar books were published in the following decades.

Barker was equally proficient in watercolour, pen and ink, oils, and pastels. Kate Greenaway and the Pre-Raphaelites were the principal influences on her work. She claimed to paint instinctively and rejected artistic theories. Barker died in 1973. Though she published Flower Fairy books with spring, summer, and autumn themes, it wasn’t until 1985 that a winter collection was assembled from her remaining work and published posthumously.
