Collection of 23 "Silk" postcards, arranged on pages within a deluxe Unisafe brand postcard album. These silk embroidered postcards which were a premium postcard item at the time were very popular during the WWI period, especially with soldier serving in France to send back home (often within an envelope to protect them) to their sweetheart back home. Some notable phrases these cards posed to the receipiant were to "Keep me in your heart", "England Forever" "Greetings from France" and "To my dear sweetheart" (to name a few). This selection of cards is in fantastic condition, considering the somewhat delicate nature of the art medium. A visually striking group of WWI era cards. Estimate =
