Product Description
Book Description
The celebrated photographer and social commentator Martin Parr follows up his Boring Postcards series with a new instalment of his bizarre postcard collection. Produced throughout Southern Europe during the 1970s, these cards show shamelessly idealised photographs of romantic lovers and perfect families. Originating as domestic icons, these images have their roots in Catholic religious imagery. Both a revealing social-historical document and a hilariously funny coffee-table collection, they will appeal to all connoisseurs of kitsch. 132 colour reproductions.

A collection of nostalgic photographs of couples.
23 Sep 2005
Format:Paperback
This is not a collection of Martin's photographs, but a collection of photographs he collects. They are all taken from brochures and paraphernalia, depicting tacky scenes and settings of a romantic nature. If you liked his book on Christmas cards, this is a similar offering of reprints of these photos, appearing to be mostly taken in the 60's and 70's. Not as exciting as the nostalgic look into Butlin's Holiday camps, in Our True Intent Is All For Your Delight, but still a quirky read nonetheless.
