Famous people cards

What are celebrities?

Well, who or what are they actually? Opinions differ about this very concept and that is why the celebrities are also very diverse. Celebrities, both old and new, famous and less known. Celebrities who still are today, but only then, that's also a difference. That is why there is plenty of variety and this subject is really something for everyone. The celebrity itself may be interesting, or because of the time period, they lived in, their memory, or maybe even act that entails them. Whether it is purely about their image, this is also a possibility!

These postcards can refresh someone’s memory, create a nice memory, or even challenge someone to oneself in certain themes.

Much variety

The colors, the shapes are just as variable and creative as those of all other postcards, which is why they are just as attractive. Black and white, colored, French style, drawn, photographed, childish images or just as art, old-fashioned or futuristic, it is all there. That makes it all very interesting for everyone.

Because there is so much variety, it is possible to make absolutely anyone happy with a postcard that features a celebrity. Not only because of who it features but also because of the image or its representation. Be it for children, young people, adults, and the elderly, there is something for everyone. That is how wide the Art Unlimited.com collection is.

Examples

Let's talk about this diversity and especially about the celebrities themselves. To start with a photo of a man and a woman who called themselves "Theo and Thea", these greatly amused the youth back in the 1980s and 1990s. At the beginning of VPRO, they quickly became a well-known duo, whose statements were often quoted. With a party hat on and the characteristic glued front teeth, they are very recognizable even to those who were still very young at the time. Thanks to the party hats and the bow that encloses them both, this card is perfect for a birthday. They ushered in a new period. Not so current anymore, but that is absolutely not to be forgotten.

These types are also on other postcards, including an image as "angels", referring to the beginning of the earth. A beautiful card with a particularly light undertone.

Other images are not about the person itself, but rather about the person they portray. Rowan Atkinson, for example, as his character Mr. Bean. The name Dirk de Herder does not ring a bell, but it does when it comes to Pipo the Clown. This character is even known to the current generation. Of course, this also applies to Edwin Rutte as "uncle Willem"!

Original?

Of course, we have pictures of pop stars as well as soccer players; we know what they look like or what they have looked like. This also applies to politicians and scientists, such as U.S. presidents and people like Einstein or Madame Curie, although photography back then was not what it is today. These people have somehow changed the world with their work. That is why the memory is so important as well as to be able to put a face with it.

Yet there are also postcards of celebrities who have never been photographed because that possibility did not exist in back the old days. If it concerns people from the old times, such as painters, then there are self-portraits, such as those of Rembrandt van Rijn and Vincent van Gogh.

But there are also many images of people we never really knew how they exactly looked like. Yet this does not mean that the image is not real, quite the contrary. This one is just as valuable; it is good to have a face to a name, to make it even more real.

Even more examples
Marilyn Monroe, still a well-known pop and movie star, is definitely a representative of an era, the 1960s. Not only because of who she was, what she looked like, and what she did but also with those with whom she has had relationships. Her tragic death also contributed to who she is today, which is why the picture may be old, but the story is never over being told, so neither is her photo! Yet there is also another card available of Marilyn Monroe, younger and still reasonably "well" dressed.

A horizontal photo of a reclining James Dean also represents an important time period. The idol of many teenage girls back then still appeals to the imagination of many people today.
