Ever-popular artist Charley Harper held a special affinity for birds. Describing his method of depicting wildlife, which winnowed out all but the most important details, Harper once said, “When I look at a wildlife or nature subject, I don’t see the feathers in the wings; I just count the wings.” He asked viewers to “remember that I didn’t start out to paint a bird—the bird already existed. I started out to paint a picture of a bird, a picture which didn’t exist before I came along, a picture which gives me a chance to share with you my thoughts about the bird.” This book of postcards presents 30 of Harper’s beloved avian artworks. Review: Beautiful bird post cards - Very good quality post cards of beautiful bird drawings by Charley Harper. My friend and I exchange postcards weekly, and have for 30+ years! Great fun to send and to receive. Good price. Review: Postcard or Frameable art? - You can use these as eye-catching postcards for mailing to friends or frame them as art. They are that stunning. I heard about this artist because he was an inspiration for a Herman Miller furniture designer who spoke about him. I have purchased his books, calendar, puzzles etc. and enjoy giving them as affordable tasteful gifts to friends and family or keeping them for myself!

Beautiful!
Just as a heads up- these are too big to be considered postcards with the USPS, so they will charge you for a letter (not that it makes any difference with forever stamps). I hadn't really looked at the measurements, and I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that they were so big! I really, really love the art, and it is printed on quality paper. I would buy this again and recommend it to my friends! Keep in mind that you do rip them out of a book, so there are serrated edges on one side. It wasn't really a big deal for me, but it might be for some :) Overall, very lovely set!

This is a truly wonderful collection of Charley Harper's art in postcard form.
Love this Book of postcards. Have given it so many times as a birthday gift with such an incredible response. Delightful for bird lovers or to be used as thank you notes. I'm finally ordering one for myself!!!!!!!!

Beautiful
Bought these because I recognized the artwork from the series of bird postcard stamps designed by the same artist which I love. They are nice quality, bright color, nice finish, and heavy enough cardstock to survive the mail. I used them instead of cards for thank you notes.

Beautiful, sturdy, high-quality postcards
Almost every single post card in here is a winner! I think there are more "winners" in here than the Charley Harper Animal Kingdom collection. These postcards are glossy, sturdy, a good size, and rip out easily. I participate in postcrossing and these are the cards I always send to international recipients. It seems these cards are the most likely to make it to their destination, as opposed to many store bought touristy cards (which tend to be smaller and not as great of quality). They are so beautiful, that I have often wanted to hoard them all to myself to frame!

Perfect hit of color for grey and yellow decor.
Very pleased with these postcards. Picked out the ones with the yellow accents, framed them in some inexpensive ikea frames, and they’re the perfect accent to my grey and yellow decor. Love em!

このセンスに脱帽
チャーリーハーパーの鳥の絵が大好きです。特にこの表紙にもあるゴジュウカラは、特徴をとらえていて秀逸です。カードブックは、手軽に楽しむことができます。

Ay, qué porondonga de papel...
Y estos libritos de postales siempre son un poco compra a ciegas, porque no sabes con exactitud qué te vas a encontrar dentro: no hay ningún sitio donde ver el contenido completo, y de muestra siempre usan las imágenes más vistosas, los flamencos nupciales, los pelícanos ofuscados o la abubilla que no se asea y así huele ella, ya saben ustedes. Por lo demás, yo soy una loca de las postales por un lado, y una loca de las estilográficas por otro. Bueno, pues cuidadito lo que usan para escribir en estas tarjetas, porque la tinta se corre con respirarle cerca. Es así. Habrá que meterlas en un sobre, qué tostón. Viva el copy/paste.
