POSTCARD PRINTER & PUBLISHER RESEARCH


	LINKS

	Here now 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. Few copies of the fine done catalogue (all 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 350 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.

Lichtdruck / Collotype

was a photographic printing process widely used for postcard production. If you wish to learn more on the process and its history this “working” museum website from Leipzig is a must! In German now only. Again you will find the name “C.G. Roeder” mentioned.


	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 in use during a general Japan / Asia trend period (c. 1900-10).
