Help with art postcards

HPoelzig · January 30th, 2009, 04:25 PM

Hello,

I recently bought two vintage art postcards and would like to find out more about the paintings appearing on them, and the artists (I haven't had any luck searching the Web for them).

I wasn't able to upload images, so will have to link to them. This is the first one, apparently painted around 1915, called Powrot z Targu/Retour du Marche; the artist is named as A. Augustynowicz.

The second one is called Aniol pokoju/Friedensengel, which seems to mean "Angel of Peace", credited to a W. Betley. The painting itself is undated, but the postcard was printed in 1915. Here it is:

Thanks for looking, and I hope somebody here can offer more information on these.
