The
Postcard Century
The Postcard Century tells the story of the last hundred
years in the 1900s' own words and images. Two thousand
picture postcards and their messages give a vivid account of
the day-to-day life of people and of what mattered to them,
pleased them, shocked or amused them via the cards they
chose to send. Year by year, the high and mighty, the low
and worthy, and everyone in between talk of the characters,
events, and hot spots of the century. Jokes from seaside,
the disasters of war, the hazards of travel, the caprices of
life in work and leisure--all are pictured and discussed.
Each year begins with postcard views of the New York City
skyline and of Piccadilly Circus. Though centered on the USA
and England, cards come from every corner of the world, from
Los Angeles to Beijing, from Antarctica to Alaska. Several
themes emerge, notably those that evolved with the century:
transportation (aviation takes us from the Wright brothers
to NASA), the movies, fashion, vacations, and the role of
women. Changes in the English language as used informally by
Americans and Britons are powerfully registered. 2000 color
illustrations.
