Postcards Home: Padstow Obby Oss · Art Postcard

Step back to the morning of 1st May in Padstow, Cornwall, where the town has been welcoming in the summer with drums, song, and the swirling Obby Oss since long before memory serves. This A6 art postcard reimagines a postcard sent home from that moment: a unique watercolour and ink illustration, vintage postmarked 1st May, capturing the Oss and its Teaser weaving through the flower-strewn streets of Padstow on May Day morning, one of the oldest and most joyfully alive folk celebrations in Britain.

Available in two designs; the Red 'Oss and the Blue 'Oss, each the centre of its own procession through the town. Choose your favourite, or collect both.

Part of the Postcards Home series; a growing collection of original illustrated postcards, each rooted in a real place and a real moment in history. Printed in full colour on 300gsm silk card, with a classic postcard reverse printed in black, ready to write and send.
