We recently completed a two-year project of publishing 250 high-quality limited edition sets of 86 Samuel L. Schmucker postcards. These postcards are reproduced directly from the original watercolor paintings in our personal collection. The paintings date c.1905-06. This limited edition collection celebrates the centennial of Schmucker's work for the Detroit Publishing Company (DPC). The vintage postcards were first offered for sale in 1907 by the DPC and are some of the most valuable American postcards every published.
This is a unique and important collection of postcards of Schmucker's lost artwork. We have made every effort to publish the finest and most collectible postcards possible. The postcards and the custom envelopes are printed with a 5th run of gold ink to highlight the gold Schmucker used to accent his paintings. We have used the very finest quality 15pt paper stock for this production.
To see a synopsis of the different sets of paintings, just click on the images below.
