Do not purchase this art-work. I thought it was going to be a post-card book. I have a wonderful postcard art book to compare to. THis is a sheet of dark art. Also there is blurring.

I love Waterhouse, and these art cards are a beautiful selection of some of his best works. My one complaint is that some of the cards have less-than-brilliant colors. Still, I find them enchanting and I've already used them as cards for friends.

If you love art by John William Waterhouse than you definitely want these.
If you cannot afford expensive posters, books etc. then these will do it for you. You can frame them or use them in forms of art that you create.
The way that he paints and the colors he uses are evident in these post cards. He was a great artist and had a knack for choosing the best subjects for his paintings.

I received these quicking and without delay.

I was thrilled to find this art card book in the gift shop of the National Gallery here in Washington, DC. John William Waterhouse (1849-1917) is my favorite artist; I own several big prints of his paintings, and the small, frame-able art cards in THE WOMEN OF WATERHOUSE are a valuable addition to my collection. Represented here are some of the most iconic paintings of the Victorian and Edwardian eras: OPHELIA, MIRANDA, LA BELLE DAME SANS MERCI, THE LADY OF SHALOTT, THE SOUL OF THE ROSE, SAINT CECILIA. But ultimately, what makes the book worth far more than the few dollars I paid for it are the relatively rare pictures, those that are hard if not impossible to find in print form; these include the early masterpiece ST. EULALIA and the later THE ANNUNCIATION, as well as WINDFLOWERS, A TALE FROM THE DECAMERON, a different OPHELIA, and the un-bowdlerized version of THE CRYSTAL BALL. The look of the rare cards is superb, too, the colors true and vivid. In fact, only SAINT CECILIA and the first LADY OF SHALOTT have problems in this regard, the one being too dark and the other too light in color. Those titles are much better reproduced in the boxed collection J.W. WATERHOUSE: MYTH AND ROMANCE, also sold by Amazon.com. So if you are a Waterhouse admirer and buy both THE WOMEN OF WATERHOUSE and MYTH AND ROMANCE, you should end up fully satisfied.
