INFORMATION

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 book and this website are the main sources for information on embroidered silk postcards. This website lists cards discovered since the book was published, plus additional sections on Greetings Cards and Early (pre-1914) Cards. The new additions are shown in RED.


This Information Section of the website provides essential background to the subject of embroidered silk postcards. The first page is a brief history of postcards and how embroidered silk postcards fit into the context of their times, taken from my book. To gain a full understanding, it is necessary to read the book.

The Links page gives a direct line to other websites on embroidered silk postcards, which are remarkably few. The last page is a listing of the types of embroidered silk postcard that I am interested in buying.
