    I'm a big fan of the Edinburgh Sketcher and he's got some really nice postcards of Victorian cycling in Edinburgh:

    (Edit: can't get the image link to work, what am I doing wrong?)

    (Edit 2: technical incompetence resolved: thanks.)

    what am I doing wrong?
    Looks like you're linking to a webpage, but sticking it in image tags?

    Normal link to webpage: https://www.flickr.com/photos/131584654@N03/30617263615/

    The actual image location, which is what should go in the image tags is: https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5522/30617263615_5cb0417193_b.jpg (note the .jpg ending)

    Flickr doesn't make it particularly easy to find the image location - you need to click the wee download button to the right of the image, then choose "View all sizes", choose the size you want, then right click and "Copy image location" (actual wording probably browser-dependent).

    Anyway, nice postcards!

    That's a link to a page not an image

    I love those cards. Are they available on line or do you have to go to the Design shop at Ocean Terminal?

    @Rosie: His work is on sale in quite a few shops around town. Paper Tiger in the West End, but I don't know if the postcards are there yet.
