Buildings & Constructions
An Illustrated History of the Embroidered Silk Postcards is the standard reference book on embroidered silk postcards. It contains references to over 2600 different cards with over 270 illustrations. The section on Buildings and Constructions lists 35 cards. The cards listed below are additional cards discovered since the book was published. The new additions are shown in RED.
This section includes anything man-made: buildings, bridges, statues, monuments, amusement parks, piers, etc. They usually have the structure embroidered on the card with the name of the place, the building, the statue, etc.
