The Great War Through Picture Postcards

Collectors whose specialist field is postcards are known as deltiologists, and the subject is very popular, with clubs and societies for this particular interest. There are also monthly magazines and there have been books written on the subject.

However, this title concentrates on the period of WWI and the author presents a varied selection from all aspects and all sides, both Allied and German point of view. There are patriotic images, jingoistic, humorous and serious; all here to show the war from a different point of view.

Monochrome and colour cards show the variety and to many families this is all they had to keep in touch. This is a long-overdue serious book on an over-looked subject and collectors will enjoy it. The book may just also spark an interest in the subject with other collectors.
