A Postcard Album

From the end of the nineteenth century through to the 1930s, the postcard was a hugely popular format for correspondence, and for transcontinental communication in particular. It was in part through its picture postcard imagery that Argentina captured the imagination of the world beyond its own shores. As this enchanting volume attests, in the concise format of these humble cards, Argentina not only began to announce itself to the world, but also to define its self-image.
