Can Can
This may not be that risqué in terms of today's internet, and what is available, but it is as risqué as I am likely to get. This Can Can dancer began as one in a watercolor series from the early 30's signed by Alice Huertas. They became postcards in the 1950s or 60s - reproduced on thin card.

Bryan de Grineau
I have six postcard paintings by Bryan de Grineau and they all show aeroplanes speeding towards the viewer and past.
I looked on the internet and found other pictures by Bryan de Grineau - Grand Prix cars and speeding steam trains on a post auction sale internet site. .
His pictures always show great movement.

Furze lane, Purley
This postcard of Furze Lane Purley at the turn of the last century shows a newly established street. It is very leafy now with houses disguised by trees.
