Postcard History is pleased to introduce Owen Carrollson. Owen recently sent images of a ten-card set that is approaching 125 years old. A happy new year message on one of the set is dated December 17, 1897. Bordering on being “rare finds” they are artist-signed by Ernst Platz, a noted German artist.

François Flameng is not a house-hold name, not even in France, nevertheless World War I historians owe Monsieur Flameng a huge debt of gratitude for his paintings of the war. From 1915 to the prisoner exchanges in 1918, Flameng documented wartime battles and events. The exact number is unknown, but around 1925, the Parisian Army Museum sponsored a 20-card set of Flameng’s paintings.
