Beschreibung

First Postcards explores the captivating history of postcards, revealing their evolution from simple communication tools to cherished collectibles. It examines how postcards reflect social trends, artistic movements, and technological advancements of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The book contextualizes their emergence within postal reforms and printing innovations, highlighting the rapid adoption of postcards across social classes. It argues that these seemingly simple pieces of ephemera offer a unique window into the past, providing insights into everyday life and cultural values often overlooked by traditional historical sources, especially during the golden age of postcards.

 
The book unfolds in three sections, beginning with the origins of postcards and their precursors, then exploring the "Golden Age" of postcards, including diverse types and printing techniques. Finally, it delves into the world of postcard collecting, highlighting early collecting mania and modern practices, as well as major postcard artists and themes.

 
By drawing on primary sources like early postcard collections and postal archives, First Postcards provides a comprehensive view of postcard history and their cultural impact. This book will appeal to collectors, history enthusiasts and hobbyists alike.

    'One of the better known foreign entrepreneurs of his generation in China.' New York Times 
    In his bestselling debut, 'China Cuckoo', Mark Kitto described how he 'lost a fortune and found a life in China'. In 'That's China', the thrilling prequel, he tells the story of how he made that fortune. For seven roller-coaster years Kitto outwitted competitors and jealous partners to build the most profitable and popular English language publishing business in China since 1949. 
    To the Chinese Communist Party, media is state-owned propaganda. No individuals, let alone foreigners, will ever have a stake in it. 
    No foreigner in modern times has come so close to the heart of the Chinese propaganda machine on his own terms. Not even Rupert Murdoch. 
    Told with Kitto's trademark self-deprecating humour and unsettling honesty, 'That's China' is a rare thing, a business saga that will have you on the edge of your seat all the way to the final showdown; in the highest law court in China.
