EDITORS COMMENTS
This British smaller Inland Postcard from January 1, 1878, is a fascinating glimpse into the early days of communication and advertising. The postcard replaced the earlier larger card and was a prime example of how advertisers and merchants were quick to embrace this cheap and efficient form of reaching their customers. The reverse side of the postcard reveals that it is an Order Card listing the price of Shepheard Neames ales. This detail provides insight into the types of products being promoted through this innovative medium over a century ago. The image captured in this print from Holt's Battlefields Collection showcases not only the historical significance of the postcard itself but also highlights how advancements in communication technology have played a crucial role in shaping our society. As we marvel at this relic from 1878, we are reminded of the ingenuity and creativity that has always been present in advertising and marketing. The British smaller Inland Postcard serves as a reminder that even in simpler times, businesses were finding ways to connect with their audience using whatever tools were available to them - much like today's digital age.
