An old postcard album in good condition containing approximately 290 standard size postcards. There is also a box containing all 24 editions of the publication Picture Postcard Monthly (PPM) for the years 1986 and 1987. Of the postcards, a few are foreign, including several Rhodesian real photographic cards (see photo for four of the Rhodesian). There are some subject, including 12 of an exhibition at Newcastle; but most are UK topographical, with the vast majority English. No obvious theme – there’s a small cluster of Winchester Pageant scenes, which are all printed; and elsewhere some decent real photographic street scenes. Our other photos show some of what we consider to be the stronger pages. A Welsh colliery, hunting scene and royal coronation postcards noted. The condition is generally good, but some PCs have minor faults – and one card has a vertical crease from top to bottom. PPM is a 56-page magazine packed with informative articles about postcards. Back copies for these years are difficult to obtain. The copies are generally in reasonable condition, but one cover has a tear and some pages have rounded corners etc.
