NigelS Posted 13 December , 2018 Share Posted 13 December , 2018 I've had a copy of this image of the Butte, Polygone Wood for quite a while Although not postcards, more recently I've come across these paintings by the war artist George Edmund Butler in the New Zealand National Collection of War Art. An area which, if not physically, at least on canvas, he clearly revisited several time - The final image, dated 1920, is perhaps the most poignant, and possibly the one the earlier paintings had been leading up to. http://warart.archives.govt.nz/node/536 http://warart.archives.govt.nz/node/530 http://warart.archives.govt.nz/node/111 http://warart.archives.govt.nz/node/177 http://warart.archives.govt.nz/node/156 (a listing of all Butler's war work held by the collection can be found here http://warart.archives.govt.nz/taxonomy/term/182/?page=8) NigelS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knotty Posted 17 December , 2018 Share Posted 17 December , 2018 Hi Cnock What a fantastic collection you have there. Have you ever contemplated the thoughts of publishing them in a book? Regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnock Posted 17 December , 2018 Author Share Posted 17 December , 2018 Hello John, thanks for Your comment, until now I published some 12 books about WW1 subjects, but never thought of publishing post cards in a book. I am more a collector of original WWI photos. regards, Cnock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it may be a traction engine or threshing engine rather than a steam loco on a railway Julian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
