　　This work tells the story of the 20th century using images and

messages from 2000 picture postcards. The postcards depict the

day-to-day life of people and what mattered to them, pleased them,

shocked or amused them via the cards they chose to send.

Year-by-year the book presents everyone from the high and mighty to

the low and the worthy talking about the characters, events and hot

spots of the century. Saucy seaside jokes, the disasters of the

war, the hazards of travel, the caprices of life in work and

leisure - all are pictured and discussed. Each year begins with

postcard views of the New York skyline and of Piccadily Circus.

Though centred on Britain and the USA, cards come from every corner

of the world, from Los Angeles to Beijing, from Antarctica to

Alaska. Themes which evolved with the century emerge including:

transportation (aviation takes us from the Wright Brothers to the

moon); cinema; the role of women; fashion; and holidays. Each

postcard is accompanied by a caption which places its message in

context.
