		By the beginning of the 20^th Century picture postcards had become well established. The first 14 years or so of the Century are generally known as the “Golden Age” of picture postcards.
During that period millions upon millions of cards were sent for ½d and, what is more, a great many of them were preserved in albums. As a result even today there are still many millions of these early cards to be found, whereas cards from later periods are sometimes comparatively scarce.
