Signed Bowman art on a 12-postcard series depicting "Uses of the Air Ship". 8 are mailed with 1909 - 1913 postmarks in Midwestern US states. Minor faults except: a lot of toning on back (left, row 3); 1/2" tear from top center edge (center, row 3). Obviously done in printings at different times, because of slight variations in the dimensions & border treatments. There is scant information on this gifted artist. All these postcards are very to hard find, so apparently none were printed in quantity. Finding all 12 at once at our price of $70.00 is a real treat. a(b)bbf
