NEW INDEX PAGE! The previous classification of topics was breaking down as more topics were added, and a simpler means of search and access is provided by the buttons on the extreme left.

This site contains selections of mainly European pre-WW2 postcards; the cards are of subects rather than views of places or scenery. New topics are added regularly, and thereafter updated. The recently added topics are Photographers, Illustrators and Young Performers.

You can also search for people appearing on the cards, by name or by nickname. This section of the site is much more comprehensive for ladies who performed in Europe before WW1.

To start using the site, click on one of the buttons on the far left.

Below are links to some more systematic collections: VGP (Vintage German Postcards) is a reference source for cards of fourteen of the largest German postcard publishers from the first quarter of the 20th century.
