NATURAL CURIOSITIES by Ernst Haeckel postcard set of 20 postcards. Botanical illustrations theme post card variety pack. Made in USA.

I absolutely love these! They are a great print quality. The ink does smear on the back because it's so smooth so be careful when you write and let it dry, but it's a small issue to me when the cards are as cool looking and sturdy as these. I use them for Postcrossing and will definitely buy again.

It's difficult to tell from the site photos just how these postcards look in 'real life.' For me, the artistic quality was the initial draw; beautifully rendered drawings of little-known species displayed in formal arrangements. Most are marine species that few of us see or notice; plankton, sponges, sea squirts, and decidedly weird jellyfish. Moving up the evolutionary chain to an odd set of fishes and a few more of amphibians, until we reach a single [and spectacular] card of hummingbirds. Joining this odd -- the title is 'Curiosities,' after all -- collection are four botanical cards, each with the slightly eerie and over-wrought feel I associate with Victorian era natural history texts. When seen as a group, this card set makes me mildly uneasy. When seen [and sent] individually, however, they each take on a more artistic aura. The solution, of course, is for me not to sleep with them, where they might induce uneasy dreams, but to keep them safe with other stationery in the desk drawer until ready to send out. Card stock, color, resolution -- all are excellent.

I love how unique these postcards are compared to other nature-orientated postcards. For the most part these cards deal with aquatic life, such as octupuses, jellyfish, anemone, and seashells, all of which I find very pleasing to the eye! The cards are glossy on both sides, and are made of a very sturdy cardstock that will hold up through even the worst of postal service calamities! Such a great addition to my collection.

Absolutely love these cards. The only problem that I am having is deciding which friends gets the cards. I honestly may have to buy another set because I literally just chose card(s) for a friend by eenie eenie miney mo!!! Card stock is perfect and I was able to write with different types of gel pens and had no problem with smearing. Super fast shipping- thank you very much!

These postcards are beautiful! They are works of art...nature at its finest. The quality is superb. The colors are brilliant. I love to correspond with friends and family and these postcards are perfect!! And...Made in the USA!

I got these for my sister as she's very interested in botany. This connection is truly a treasure. High quality printed naturalistic images on sturdy postcards, and the images themselves were absolutely lovely. A beautiful selection. I might order more just to hang them in the wall!

These are very cute. The print on the image side of the postcard looks great. The print on the inside looks a little soft and blurry. But it doesn't really bother me. Im still using them and sending them in the mail. Nice little cards.

Beautifully made postcards. Very sturdy and brilliant. Nice back to write on. Astonishing illustrations. Will get more very soon. Well packaged and arrived very fast.
