With images from Saxilby History Group’s ‘John Wilson Collection’, I will introduce you to the “Golden Age of Postcards”, a period between 1905 and 1915 when postcards became incredibly popular as a means of communication and art, and a few early Lincolnshire photographers who took advantage of the craze.
