The study and collecting of postcards is termed deltiology
A postcard or post card is a rectangular piece thin cardboard or of thick
paper intended for writing and mailing without an envelope and maybe at a lower
postage rate than a letter.
Stamp collectors distinguish between postcards, which require a stamp, and
postal cards, which have the postage pre-printed on them.
While a postcard is usually printed by a private company, individual or organization,
a postal card is issued for sale by the relevant postal authority.
Standard Size - Introduced in Britain in November 1899, measuring 140mm x
89mm. The United States Postal Service defines a postcard as: rectangular, at
least 3-½ inches high x 5 inches long x .007 inch thick and no more than
4¼ inches
high x 6 inches long x .016 inches thick; (in metric; 127mm x 89mm) however,
some postcards have deviated from this; for example, novelty shaped postcards.
Postcard collecting (deltiology) is one of the most popular collectible hobbies
in the UK and internationally, surpassed in popularity only by coin collecting
(numismatics) and stamp collecting (philately). There is some crossover when
the postcard subject matter enters the realms of the other major hobbies or pastimes.
Another aspect of the hobby is that a fan of another genre, say cats, tractors
or bridges etc., may collect that subject matter on postcards.
The old antique postcard evokes memories of the past and provides an interesting
glimpse into the social history, cultural history and material culture of the
time. Known also as a “penny
post card” and a “picture post card,” vintage postcards have
been collectibles since their 1890s Victorian-era inception.
Deltiology
From Greek, deltion, a derivative of deltos, "writing tablet or
letter"; and -logia is the study and collection of postcards.
Compared to
philately, the identification of a postcard's place and time of production can
often be an impossible task because postcards, unlike stamps, are produced in
a decentralised, unregulated manner. For this reason, some collectors choose
to limit their acquisitions to cards by specific artists and publishers etc.
