THE POSTCARD ALBUM

POSTCARD PRINTER & PUBLISHER RESEARCH


	LINKS

	Some websites I have found useful. If you know of other sites around that offer at least some information on postcard printer and/or publisher research, trademarks / logo’s identified, postcard history in general, old printing processes and similar content, please drop me a line.

	Neue Photographische Gesellschaft (NPG), Berlin It was the biggest real photo card factory of the world. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Holtz and the help of many other people a fine illustrated full colour book was published on the history of this company. Very few copies of the fine done catalogue (in full colour) still available.

Danzig / Zoppot postcards

Chris has already collected a number of interesting old views and the site is still growing. See the ‘Catalogue’ section for picture- and address sides in excellent quality illustrated.

Images of Asia

covers many countries, from Turkey to Japan. India is leading with over 800 different images / old postcards. Including some background information. Interesting web project in modern presentation. See for yourself!

Vereniging Documentatie Prentbriefkaarten (VDP)

The Dutch ‘VDP’ is one of the most active postcard collector societies I know of. There is nothing similar to it in Germany. They publish also a fine quarterly magazine, with articles not only on old ppc’s. (website in Dutch language)

ETW Dennis

of Scarborough published the first British picture postcard in 1894. George Webber presents information on the company, their early cards as well as various early picture postcard claims.

“Reflections of a Bygone Age”

are the publishers of “Picture Postcard Monthly” and “Picture Postcard Annual”. If you haven’t seen PPM yet (already over 380 issues published!), it is high time to get a sample copy and judge for yourself. – See also the “Links” section for more interesting information, especially for beginners.

www.archivofotograficodepuertorico.com

Historical ephemera and photographic images of Puerto Rico. Already an impressing site in my opinion and still growing.

Postcards made of Wood

by photographer Maribel Herruzo from Spain. Interesting mixture of photographer / art / the old medium wood postcards. You can even order your own individual wooden cards. There is a second site with a blog on this topic, too.

www.rosscards.com

A popular web site and definitely a must for all collecting actor movie star cards of the Ross-Verlag, Berlin. Checklists, plenty of historical information on the publishing business as well as on the person Heinrich Ross, too.


	Advertising or trade card, blank reverso), postcard size by the firm Ch. Delaye, Paris (Impressions d’Art). Monochrome etching on handmade paper, deckle edged. Offers to design pictures, circulars, cards etc in any style. The two busy women look like Japanese incl. their dress. The card was probably issued during the Japan / Asia trend period (c. 1900-10).


	Oostende, Belgium. fine street view with the shops having plenty of postcards on display for sale. By local publisher ‘C.D.’, sepia collotype, not p/u, pre-1914 date I think.
