The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: WWI post cards
Hand-embroidered silk keepsakes, patriotic "Allies' Flags" designs, and Y.M.C.A. soldier's mail make up this gathering of World War I souvenir postcards bought in France by men of the American Expeditionary Forces. Written messages home to Brooklyn families, complete with censor's stamps, turn mass-produced novelties into intimate records of wartime correspondence.
