A substantial, vertical format purpose-made album, half-bound in brown leather and light brown cloth, with 'Post Cards' in gilt lettering to the front cover, the binding a little dull and rubbed, holding 500 predominantly cycling postcards dating from the early 1900s onwards. Mostly in good condition, the contents include many series, original photographs, comedy images, greetings cards, military scenes, advertising material, and a menu card for the 21st Annual Dinner, November 1896, of the Leamington and South Warwickshire Cyclist Club. The album has re-enforced hinges, a corner has been cut from the front free end-paper, and a few of the paper corner hinges holding the cards are broken, but nevertheless a real treasure-trove of period cycling material.
