Postcards at Troynovant:
minimalist sendings by courier,
flat-carded Scenes of Passage;
in the older manner
sent & reviewed in Private
though carried by the Public post;
listed by Title / Location & Date
  

Postcards listed below have their own pages. Many other postcards feature as illustrations on other content or index pages at Troynovant, and are not listed here, but sometimes a postcard-as-illustration also will have a link to a page of its own. Most postcard views are click-to-enlarge; these with their own pages show both sides.

Dates denote when a postcard was addressed or postmarked. Often the card was printed significantly earlier, as for instance pre-war cards mailed during or after World War II, or souvenir or antique cards which sometimes are mailed long afterward. Written cards that are not stamped or postmarked were mailed within envelopes. In transcribing text: punctuation and certain capitalization may be adjusted, and typos silently corrected, but contemporary or individual usage is respected.
  

... I says, "I draw my own conclusions and will continue in the future to draw them." I says, "If people want to write their inmost secrets on penny postcards, there's nothing in the wide world you can do about it, Uncle Rondo."

Ross:

The King hath happily received, Macbeth,
The news of thy success, and when he reads
Thy personal venture in the rebels' sight,
His wonders and his praises do contend
Which should be thine or his; silenced with that,
In viewing o'er the rest o'th' self-same day
He finds thee in the stout Norwegian ranks,
Nothing afeard of what thyself didst make,
Strange images of death. As thick as hail
Came post with post, and every one did bear
Thy praises in his kingdom's great defence,
And poured them down before him.

William Shakespeare
Macbeth, 1.3.87-98
