Vintage Postcards for the Holidays by Robert Reed, ISBN 1574322907 Summary
Vintage Postcards for the Holidays: Identification & Value Guide
Vintage Postcards for the Holidays Full Description
The advent of postcards in the early 1900s brought about a big change in the American postal world -- before them, envelopes, sometimes more expensive than the greeting cards themselves, were necessary for mailing. Postcards made it easier to convey a quick message cheaper. And what better occasion to send one than a holiday, just to say Merry Christmas, Happy Easter, or even Happy Fourth of July. Literally millions of holiday postcards were printed and distributed in the U.S. during the first dozen years of the twentieth century. Now, nearly a century later, they are considered highly collectible, with or without messages, largely due to their striking and attractive artwork. Authors Robert and Claudette Reed celebrate these precious postcards, from New Year's Day to Christmas, in their new book, Vintage Postcards for the Holidays. Each section is preceded by a historical overview of the holiday and the use of postcards in connection with the holiday and is arranged chronologically to allow the reader to view the changing nature of the postcards. Holidays covered include New Year's Day, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas (traditional and Santa Claus issues), President's Day, and other patriotic holidays. There is also a section devoted to postcards sent on other special occasions like birthdays and graduations. The vivid colors and images on the more than 600 illustrated vintage cards, as well as the additional 400 listings, will delight readers.
