The golden age of collecting picture postcards was from the late 1890s up to WWI. It would be decades before this fascinating hobby was rediscovered, and the market transformed by the Internet. Nowadays, it is easy to find interesting postcards from various countires, and to pay a price that equates with supply and demand. The picture postcard class has been accepted in philatelic exhibitions in many countries, thus raising the collecting to a new level.The great fun with picture postcards is that very little has been studied and documented so far, and new discoveries can still be made. At the same time, the range of topics is even wider than in philately. This book will hopefully give the reader some new ideas and help. Enjoy your journey in the postcard world!
