Description
In 1906 the fashion for postcards was established, with 860 million being sent every year in Britain alone. Including saucy seaside fun, ornate design trends and humour of the past, this book presents an assortment of postcards from the Art Nouveau era to the present day. Two hundred full-color and sepia illustrations and an informative text document the development and refinement of the postcard, with especial attention to the turn of the century, and instruct hobbyists in all aspects of collecting and grading.
