'Guildford and the Postcard Craze' is a talk scheduled for 24 February 2027 at The Guildford Institute. It will examine the early 20th-century popularity of picture postcards, focusing on local personalities and the Guildford Institute's postcard collection. This talk is free of charge, with booking advised.
The early years of the 20th century were the golden age of the picture postcard. Around 900 million cards were posted in 1913. Guildford traders keenly joined in with the craze. This talk looks into some of the local personalities involved, illustrated with some of the cards they produced. We will highlight the Guildford Institute’s own exceptional postcard collection; many of our cards were added brand-new when they were first produced. This talk is free of charge to offer access to all (Booking advised.)
