The Picture Postcard, a new window into Edwardian Ireland uses the
material culture of the picture postcard as a lens through which to
examine life on the island of Ireland during the Edwardian period
(1902-10). Picture postcards became extremely popular worldwide at
the start of the twentieth century, when literally hundreds of
billions of them were produced and sold. This book draws on
postcard collections to access the everyday lives of people who
rarely make it into conventional historical narratives, and to make
connections in an Irish context between their "small histories" and
broader, well-studied discourses such as identity, nationalism,
empire, modernity, emigration, tourism and the roles of women.
