"The Picture Postcard, a new window into Edwardian Ireland uses the material culture of the picture postcard as a lens through which to examine life on the island of Ireland during the Edwardian period (1902-10). Picture postcards became extremely popular worldwide at the start of the twentieth century, when literally hundreds of billions of them were produced and sold. People collected and gifted them because they were visually attractive, cheap and accessible, and they also used them for all sorts of fast and convenient communication. In Ireland, as elsewhere, they became ubiquitous and unavoidable, and were consumed and used by all sorts of people, even those who did not engage with other media. A large part of their appeal was that they allowed individuals for the first time to customize ready-made and constantly updated imagery and text with their own messages, in ways similar to current communications via social media. This book uses postcard collections to access the everyday lives of people who rarely make it into conventional historical narratives, and to make connections in an Irish context between their 'small histories' and broader, well-studied discourses such as identity, nationalism, empire, modernity, emigration, tourism and the roles of women"--

Postcards provide a much richer source of imagery than most of us ever imagined. An extraordinary range has been printed in Australia, particularly in the golden period between 1900 and the First World War. After an introduction to set the scene, Moments in Time covers postcards of just about everything - war and peace, disasters and celebrations, holidays and home life, sports and theatre, rural and city living, love for 'The Dear Old Country' and pride in Australia - to name a few. Postcards were a major form of communication for a century. Although few people send them now, old postcards have an immediacy about them that is striking. They become projectiles for the past, particularly when augmented by a message that gives a glimpse of another life, another time.

From around 1880, for almost a hundred years, shipowners commissioned a wealth of paintings that depicted their magnificent liners as well as the routes they travelled, their exotic destinations, and life onboard. These paintings, rich in imagination and atmosphere, appeared on postcards and posters of the day and were used to advertise the companies and their ships; and so was born a whole genre that produced tens of thousands of paintings which formed a wonderful record of the great era of the passenger liner. In 1900, there were over thirty shipping companies operating passenger liners across the North Atlantic. Other oceans were similarly served. But now, with just a few exceptions, the companies and their liners have disappeared along with the art they once inspired. Little remains to recall this aspect of our maritime past except the postcards; and they tell an evocative story of the vanished world of elegant ships and leisurely travel, of social and political times much changed by the history of the past century. Here, brought vividly to life in more than 500 colourful postcards, are the ships on which so many of our predecessors sailed—as emigrants, soldiers, administrators, or simply as tourists—in days long past. These cards, which are now highly collectable, show how steamships developed over the years, but they are also a fine tribute to the artists who painted them. This volume also includes a glossary of some 170 illustrators, which forms an important reference section, and advice on collecting.
