Lot of 70 postcards of flowers painted by Paul de Longpre, renown Hollywood flower artist from the early 20th century. Collection includes over 40 undivided back cards c. 1905 - 1907 and nearly 30 split back cards c. 1907 - 1918. Scenes include de Longpre's estate along with the many watercolor flower paintings he did throughout his lifetime. Note: de Longpre was born in France in 1855, moved to NYC in 1890 then on to Los Angeles in 1899. He first exhibited in Paris in 1876. A NY City exhibition in 1896 gained him instant recognition which he built upon until his death in 1911. Due to rising real estate values and the burgeoning population of Southern California, de Longpre's remarkable residence and flower gardens were demolished by 1927.
