Famous Postcard Artists

Many postcard illustrators labored in anonymity, turning out thousands of drawings while under contract to the publishers.  Other artists, however, rose to some significant recognition due to the unique qualities in their work or an excellent press agent.  "Artist-signed" postcards are overwhelmingly the most popular cards among collectors.

Here are some of the most famous postcard illustrators of the "Golden Age" of postcards (1893-1915):

Boileau, Philip (1863 - 1917)      Phillip Boileau postcard
