Early postcards from Southeast Asia

 

These page allows you to see early postcards, mostly chosen for ethnographic content, kindly curated by a colleague. Postcards are not always supplied with captions especially in the early period, and some I have simply had to guess. Any corrections are welcome. Currently only Africa and Asia are presented, but future pages will encompass other parts of the world. NB some names are anachronistic, such as Myanmar, but it is easier to find them. Việt Nam was known as Annam at this period. The Andamans are politically part of India, but culturally SE Asian. Indonesia leads you a page of Indonesian islands.
