Old Postcard Great Exhibition 1851?????

Post by racingsam »

Can anyone help me. I have what looks like an old postcard of The Great Exhibition 1851. It opens like a bellows, and when you look through the hole in the front, it gives a 3d image of the inside of the Crystal Palace. Thanks. Steve.

Sounds like an interesting item but it won't be a postcard as Picture Postcards were only in use in the UK from 1894 onwards.
It will come under the general category of Ephemera (Printed Items). Try the Ephemera Society ...
