Postcard Collection
I have recently started a postcard collection concentrating in two areas, ships and liners and old greetings cards. I have just started to catalogue my ships and liners, and the links to the postcards I have collected to date are below. I am trying to ensure all my postcards are of the period and not reproductions, therefore I am mainly collecting those that have been postally used. The messages are often just as fascinating as the ships themselves, and I have included information on the ships and their history as well as specific details about the postcards themselves. Have fun - and if you can provide any translations for the ones written in German, French or Japanese - please do!!
