Pictures in the post: The story of the picture postcard and its place in the history of popular art

Softcover illustrated book from 1972. This book is not only essential reading for the postcard enthusiast, but will also entertain and inform anyone interested in the development of the public's taste in popular art. The author pioneered the fascinating story of the picture postcard craze, and with the previous edition of this book was the first to place the story of the picture postcard in its historical, social and artistic setting. This new and revised work provides much additional information and illustrative material particularly concerning the world-wide aspects of the postcard's history.
