The seventh child of Frans van Dyck, a wealthy Antwerp silk merchant, Anthony painted from an early age. He was successful as an independent painter in his late teens, and became a master in the Antwerp guild in 1618. By this time he was working in the studio of the leading northern painter of the day, Peter Paul Rubens, who became a major influence on his work. Van Dyck worked in London for some months in 1621, then returned to Flanders for a brief time, before travelling to Italy, where he stayed until 1627, mostly in Genoa. In the late 1620s he completed his greatly admired Iconography series of portrait etchings, mostly of other artists. He spent five years in Flanders after his return from Italy, and from 1630 was court painter for the archduchess Isabella, Habsburg Governor of Flanders. In 1632 he returned to London to be the main court painter, at the request of Charles I of England.

This is an old postcard found in old box of odds and ends held by my grandparents. It is 3.5" x 5.5" and has no creases or tears. We think this might be valuable due to the unusual fact that all of these soldiers have a pipe in their mouth. These quotes explain why they all smoke pipes... "It might almost be said that a man in the firing line first thinks of his cartridges and the very next thing he seems to worry about is ammunition for his pipe. The pipe itself is only less precious than the rifle."--(the British trade journal 'Tobacco,' 1914) In 1916 Lieut-Colonel Henry Paul Treeby, Commandant of the East Surrey Depot, stated, "Tobacco is not so much a luxury as an actual necessity to our men at the front." General John Joseph “Black Jack” Pershing, Commander-in-Chief of the American Expeditionary Force, proclaimed in 1917, "You ask me what we need to win this war. I answer tobacco, as much as bullets." I wasn't quite sure to categorize this real picture postcard under "Militaria" or "Photos." I do hope I chose the correct topic. If not, could you please forward to someone who know about these sort of items? Thank you!! Looking forward to what you can tell us about this. --Mike
