Postcard History
A magazine for the postcard collector
There’s a story behind every postcard
In 1914, a three-act operetta titled The Lilac Domino 
written by Charles Cuvillier was on Broadway, having started in Germany. It tells the story of a philandering royal in search of love and money. You say you’ve never heard of this one? You’re not alone, but at the time it was such a hit that it was made into a movie.
A game played with a bat and a ball is called baseball in the United States. In much of the rest of the English-speaking world it’s called cricket. Artist-drawn cards for both sports were popular from the beginning. Raphael Tuck produced humorous sets of cricket cards by Lance Thackeray (1903) and G. E. Shepheard (1908).

Most politicians of the early 19th century are forgotten. Nevertheless their lives set a standard for today’s society. When we remember the past from points-of-view often neglected by historians, perhaps by the quilts they owned, it changes the historical panorama.
A mere 80 years ago, before television took over, finding a night’s entertainment in New York was a leisurely drive up Broadway to a lounge, café, tavern, or supper club in Harlem. Postcards tell the story. Some of the finest cards in any collection show you the highlights.
