Kate Watson of North Berwick Coast Guard Station R Phillimore Old Postcard

NP80 This stunning antique illustrator postcard of Berwick's Coast Guard Station is from Victorian born historic art illustrator RP Phillmore described as one of the greatest postcard artists of his time. It was published over 120 years ago origin and is unused in truly outstanding condition. RP Phillmore's postcards were notable for their distinctive sepia tone, delicate hand-coloring, and historical notes and have great unique character as the scan will show.  I am proud to offer one of the greatest RP Phillimore collections of its kind and please see all his other postcards at my store. This particular postcard includes corner art portrait of Kate Watson, a heroic local lady who lost her own life saving some local people drowning in the late 1800s.
