Choose between a Pick-6 pack or a Pick-10 pack. To complete your set, add which set you want to your shopping cart. At the Checkout stage, you’ll find a blank called “Order Notes” (look for it on the right side of the page, under “Shipping Address”). Simply fill in the blank with which postcards you want to complete your set (including multiple copies of the same card). For example, if you chose the Pick-6 pack, you might list “3 Victory Garden, 1 Get Handy, 2 On a Mission.” Or for a Pick-10 pack, you might say “1 each of Rachel Carson, Harriet Tubman, Sadako Sasaki and Annie Oakley, and 3 each of Virginia Woolf and Emma Goldman.” You can even choose to have all the postcards in your pack be the same design!
Most of the original hand-pulled letterpress prints are now sold out (because they were created in limited editions, we won’t be reprinting the original posters once they’re gone), but these postcards faithfully reproduce the hand-lettered typography and hand-drawn illustrations of the originals.
You can find more information about each piece within the individual postcard listings.
