2010ccg 03 Mar 2019 08:28:36am	Ok a question There are embroidered postcards from the WWl period. Is there an easy way to distinguish which ones are hand embroidered from those embroidered by machine ? The history behind these embroidered postcards is quite interesting and I am hoping to learn more about them . Hope someone can help Cheryl Login to Like this post

You've probably already found these, but for others here are some informative links: https://trc-leiden.nl/trc-digital-exhibition/index.php/silk-embroidered-postcards https://www.iwm.org.uk/history/embroidered-silk-postcards http://www.wallswithstories.com/household/embroidered-silk-postcards-made-by-french-and-belgian-women-they-were-often-sent-home-by-soldiers-in-wwi.html https://www.collectorsweekly.com/postcards/silk 3 Members like this post.

2010ccg 04 Mar 2019 07:10:22am	re: Embroidered Postcards Amazing information Thankyou for sharing. A fellow collector spoke about hand embroidered cards in her collection. Now this sheds new info on the claim. Cheryl Login to Like this post
ikeyPikey 04 Mar 2019 10:44:03pm	re: Embroidered Postcards . Most of the embroidered postcards I've seen have been ethnographic. "Traditional costumes of Spain" seem to be the most common, though there certainly are others. They are usually well-executed, colorful, and have held-up well.
