Summary:

A delightful way to send holiday and everyday greetings, and a wonderful gift, here are 30 beautiful and fascinating Jewish postcards from the turn of the century, from countries all around the world. (NIA)

Notes:

"The postcard was introduced on October, 1, 1869, by Dr. Emmanuel Hermann, an Austrian Jew ... The postcards in this book come from my personal collection of more than 6,000 Jewish postcards from the period 1895-1940. These postcards stand out for me as visual testimonies of Jewish life as it existed and thrived in the first part of this century. Each one is a document in itself and a witness to times past."--Willy Lindwer.
