Book Description

Publication Date: 30 April 2007 | ISBN-10: 0500543364 | ISBN-13: 978-0500543368 | Edition: First Edition
This album of over 200 century-old postcards takes the reader on a magical journey across the world in five travelogues, depicting the Orient, the Arab lands, Africa, the Americas and Oceania. These haunting postcards and the people they depict strike us with a special force today, vividly expressing a deep-seated connection with the land and customs that gave them their identities. The stories implicit in their eyes, their costumes and their postures act as a telling antidote to the rootlessness of our own times.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Images - No Text 14 Oct 2007
By Kay - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
The postcard images are outstanding: full page, clear views,excellent examples of the genre and rare ones. However, the accompaning one line notes in back of the book are inadequate. These cards appear to be one person's collection and are mostly from French colonies.
