Ultra Atmospheric Seascape #2, Old Real Photo Postcard porcelain show with laces If there is one absoluteI purchased this and two other real photo postcards of a similar manner, listed separately all the work of one person I believe, who I think may have failed to achieve the results they were seeking, but which I find very beautiful things as near abstract and super moody landscapes seascapes.
