This is part, just a wee small bit of a huge collection of animal postcards that I found stacked by some binbags near Waterloo station. Each 12" x 12" sheet has six postcards stuck on both front and back, and they are all in plastic sleeves with punched edges as if they've come from a big file.
There were literally HUNDREDS of sheets of these by the side of the road and I had to race through and pick the ten best 'cause I was on my way to work.
I can't see any logical order to the way that the postcards have been stuck together, they aren't organised by animal or anything. I've tried to get some of them away from the backing card but they're stuck on pretty well, there isn't any writing, so I guess they were bought especially to go in this album. The images are amazing, especially the ones wher the animals have been posed in some kind of setting, (as below) with flowers or in the long grass.
I have loads more photos of these but I don't want to oversell them. It's kind of like family portraiture for animals. I like them alot, I wish I could have carried more...
