Description: This is a rare unused postcard, lithographically printed! On the web we have found a few similar postcards actually send in 1909, so our guess is tha age of this item is ca. 1898-1909. This print is a smaller version of the Dutch edition of "Paardenrassen Kunstalbum", a portfolio with 41 lithographed plates based on paintings by Otto Eerelman, which depict different breeds of draft horses, published in 1898.
Artists and Engravers: Otto Eerelman (1839-192): Born in the Dutch village of Groningen in 1839, where he studied with the Dutch history painter J.H. Egenberger at the Minerva Academy. He later studied and worked in Paris in 1867. He returned to Groningen from 1867 till 1874 to teach at the Minerva Academy. He then decided to fully focus on painting and moved to Brussel (1874) and The Hague (1875-1902). With a stop in Arnhem he finally returned to Groningen, as a famous artist. Although widely reputed for his paintings of the royal family, particularly Queen Wilhelmina, Eerelman was primarily known for his detailed renderings of horses and dogs.
