Hi everyone!
I’m in the U.S.A. and today I bought some of these cool colorful vintage comic postcards and now I’m wondering if anyone has something similar from a different country/region??
These ones appear to be from the linen era 1930-1950 with publication stamps for
Asheville Post Card Co. and
Colourpicture.
I have seen some other very cool vintage postcards from international places, but I’m wondering if anyone has seen a similar older style of colorful & cartoony illustration postcard elsewhere? I just love them and would love to see some other examples – if you know of any, please post a photo/link/info below. (just for browsing)
Thank you!
I found some interesting ones yesterday, all related to the military service conscription. Here are the ones that I got:
The one on the left says: “The fearless” and the one on the right says: “To-be-discharged’s gastronomic dream”.

Saucy seaside postcards were hugely popular in the UK for many years, understandably not so much now!
Some info about one of the main publishers: Bamforth Postcards from The Bamforth Postcard Collection
