Oilette postcard • After the original painting by Phyllis Cooper (English, 1895-1988) • listed in 1930 Postcard Catalogue

Oilette: This was a type of card used by Tuck, starting in 1903, with a surface designed to appear as a miniature oil painting. Early "Oilettes" had a brush stroke simulation, but the vast majority of Tuck "Oilettes" have a smooth surface. Many collectors refer to any facsimile of an artist's work as an "Oilette".
