A Postcard from Baldoyle

This book brings to the reader the postcard publishing history of this area of North County Dublin in Ireland. A small village its children's' hospital, ladies' holiday home, and horse racecourse provided sufficient visitors to warrant souvenir postcards. The hey-day of the postcard was the period around and following the Great War. The postcard is an important document in social history as it concentrated on the locality and infrastructure of a place while the personal camera tended to capture images of people. This book shows all of the postcards with a Baldoyle theme which I have been able to source.
