The lines, circles, ticks, hooks, dots and dashes of Pitman
shorthand used by some postcard writers during the early twentieth
century are obscure to most people. Could the mysterious messages
contain scandalous gossip, tales of adventure or declarations of
undying love? Fifty Mysterious Postcards presents fascinating
examples from the 'Golden Age' of the postcard, each with a message
written in the dying art of Pitman shorthand. The rules of Pitman
have changed since the postcards were written and posted over 100
years ago, but careful transcription has unlocked their meaning to
bring stories of penfriends, sweethearts, holidays and the First
World War to life once more.
