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)

	Manneken-Pis_Club Named after the famous statue at Brussels the Belgian collector club is around for some 30 years already. Their site is multilingual. The quarterly club paper comes along bi-lingual. Quite some information on artists regularly.

		“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 Spanish and English) 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.

	www.ansichtskarten-sammeln.de Popular German web site on collecting old picture post cards. Lots of general information on the topic including dealers, fairs, publications and books. A blog covers also many aspects of the hobby. Guess the site is in German language only(?).

	www.rotograph.org ‘Rotopex is dedicated to the study and enjoyment of postcards produced by the Rotograph Postcard Company, New York from 1904 until 1911’. Covers company history, postcard gallery, lists of some 10,000 cards published, additional links etc.

	www.webber-postcard.me.uk ETW Dennis of Scarborough published the first British picture post card in 1894. His firm, founded in 1870, had a long and distinguished career as a printer and publisher, which effectively ended in June 2000, when the firm went into liquidation ... in the very first years of the British picture postcard, 1894 to 1902. ... (George Webber’s web site under new address)

	www.maximaphilie-philokartie.de is the site of the postcard (and associated philatelic items) collector and research team organised under the roof the German Philatelist Association. Site in German language.

	www.cartes-postales-magazine.fr web site of the major French publication on old & modern postcards. Published bi-monthly, more than 60 pages in full colour. Impressive!


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