Publisher's Synopsis
In Britain, postcards without images were issued by the Post Office in 1870, and were printed with a stamp as part of the design, which was included in the price of purchase. These cards came in two sizes. The larger size was found to be slightly too large for ease of handling, and was soon withdrawn in favour of cards 13mm (1/2 inch) shorter.75 million of these cards were sent within Britain during 1870.In 1973 the British Post Office introduced a new type of card, PHQ Cards, popular with collectors, especially when they have the appropriate stamp affixed and a first day of issue postmark obtained.Today, we offer an entire book printed face with a beautiful picture and in the back, a classic sample to write wishes and ad the post stamp.Just write your post card, cut it and post it !
