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".

Charles Rennie Mackintosh (British/Scottish, 1868-1928)

Charles Mackintosh was an art deco designer, architect, watercolourist, and painter.

The newly restored Willlow Tea Rooms contain furnishings designed by Mackintosh and his wife, Margaret, as well as light fixtures and even cutlery.

Charles, his future wife Margaret, James Macnaire and Margaret's sister Frances Macdonald worked as a team to encorporate the fusing of Art Deco with elongated forms, flowing lines, restrained color, symbolism, geometric patterns, and emphasis on the rectilinear. This unique style became known as the Glasgow Style.
