    Hi
    My husband inherited a hardback book containing 26 hand painted postcards. 2 of them are dated; 1915 and 1920. The artist is J S Carpenter and one postcard says " Fridig (??) Craig Keswick.
    Does anyone know where or who I should get this valued with? Or if its worth getting valued?
    I can post a pic if anyone wants.
    Thanks

    Some pics would be a big help - back and front of cards.

    Thanks. Attached 4 images.
    one of front cover
    one of 2 images, one with writing.."Friday/Fredrick?? Craig Keswick"
    one of image with date - 1915
    one of back of 2 of the postcards
    Most of the postcards are stuck on the page.
    The book is in tatters but paintings are intact.
    Hope to hear back soon!
    Thanks again.

    The card is of Friars Crag, a place in the English 'lake district' near Keswick.

    Sadly, I suspect that the poor state of the cards and the fact that they are stuck down means that they are of little value. Ebay - highlighting Friars Crag, Keswick - in the UK postcards section probably your best bet. :)
