Before the telegraph and telephone, before email alerts and instant messaging, people sent postcards when they had something to say. In Postmarked Yesteryear: 30 Rare Holiday Postcards, you will find a selection of the best holiday postcards from the unique art history book, Postmarked Yesteryear: Art of the Holiday Postcard. This collection of 30 rare postcards celebrates the naughty gnomes, dancing pumpkins, and car-driving rabbits of vintage holiday postcards. Such postcards once served as a simple yet elegant way to share holiday wishes with far-away friends and relatives, long before instant communication became possible. Originally selected by senders for their visual appeal, today they are treasured artifacts as well as important historical documents from around the world. Now, you too can enjoy these nostalgic postcards - and share them with your own family members and friends.
