Before photography took over, postcards of ocean liners were reproduced from specially commissioned paintings which in themselves formed a highly skilled school of art. This book provides a unique reference for collectors of postcards and gives a fascinating picture of a more leisured age before the advent of the jet airliner. Robert Wall provides the collector with a comprehensive dictionary of marine artists. He also gives practical advice on the whys and wherefores of collecting in this popular and fascinating subject area.
