 The Postcard Century : Cards and Their Messages: 1900-2000
- Tom Phillips
[ Geschiedenis van de twintigste eeuw in ansichten ]
This work tells the story of the 20th century using images and messages from 2000 picture postcards. The postcards depict the day-to-day life of people and what mattered to them, pleased them, shocked or amused
them via the cards they chose to send. Year-by-year the book presents everyone from the high and mighty to the low and the worthy talking about the characters, events and hot spots of the century. Saucy seaside
jokes, the disasters of the war, the hazards of travel, the caprices of life in work and leisure - all are pictured and discussed.
Paperback, 452 Pagina's, Uitgever Thames & Hudson., 2000
