Postmarked yesteryear Book

Before the telegraph and telephone, postcards were the primary form of social communication. Today these postcards are treasured artifacts as well as important historical documents from around the world. Author Pamela Apkarian-Russell memorializes the artists while tracking the progression of time, and the evolution of taste, through this simple and elegant form of communication. Her research on the artists and wide array of subject matter they depicted yields a compelling and unique history, told here for the first time. The entire family will enjoy the nostalgic, holiday-by-holiay visual journey; artists will find the graphic presentation informative and inspirational; and the legions of postcard collectors won't be without it.
