Pre-Raphaelite Postcard By John William Waterhouse
"I Am Half-Sick of Shadows," Said the Lady of Shalott by J. W. Waterhouse 1915
Like the PRB, John William Waterhouse had a predilection for depicting the themes of love unrequited or frustrated by the fates, such as the embowered and cursed Lady of Shalott. In this work, the first of Waterhouse's three versions of the subject, he depicts the Lady of Shalott at the moment when she sees the "young lovers lately wed" and becomes dissatisfied with her isolated life in the tower. The first version (1888) now in the Tate Gallery, depicts the Lady setting out for Camelot in her boat. The second (1894) now in the City Art Gallery in Leeds, portrays the climactic moment when she sees Lancelot in the mirror and turns to look out the window at him. Waterhouse's portrayal of the Lady in this entry as a wistful, young princess in a luxurious tower reveals his underlying interest in the subject of frustrated or unrequited love.

Exactly what I wanted, it is very difficult to acquire Vintage Australiana items. I am so please that I ordered 8 I will be using them for my scrap booking and Junk Journaling. Gorgeous, Zazzle produced and delivered exactly what I wanted.

Way better quality than I ever expected. I love the colours, font and quality of the card. I'm so pleased I found Zazzle as it is near impossible to purchase Vintage or Retro Australian memorabilia online. I chose this design when I purchased them. They are perfect for my projects. I was very specific about what I wanted. I know where to come now when I need to order similar items.

Perfect for the occasion I was using it for.
I was able to delete the lines so I could put in more wording.
Had an envelope so the address side wasn't necessary. Print quality and paper quality lovely.
