Description
Naval postcards have always had a great tradition in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Paintings by important naval painters were depicted in this reduced form and these artistically quite valuable postcards presented the ships of the navy in an often colourful manner, which also conveyed pride in the fleet of the Monarchy.
This volume presents what is probably the world's most extensive collection of coloured naval postcards of Austria-Hungary: for the most part previously unpublished; absolute rarities of such cards, in colour throughout, including numerous ship and brand cancellations arranged by ship class, make this volume an absolute experience not only for naval enthusiasts, but also for those interested in art and philatelists. For explanatory purposes and as supplementary information, the historical captions are supplemented by a ship class overview. The colourfulness and the variety of the artistic illustrations offer a very vivid picture of a great naval power as Austria once was!
