在1900年前后的数十年间，明信片集推特、电邮、Flickr和脸书的功能于一体。明信片热潮席卷全球，数十亿张卡片被购买、邮寄并粘贴进相册。

许多著名艺术家投身于这种新媒介，但明信片最引人入胜的魅力在于：那些最精美有趣的佳作往往出自鲜为人知的艺术家之手。 

这本精美图录依托伦纳德·A·劳德明信片收藏（堪称该领域最精良完备的珍藏），追溯现代社会中引人入胜、激动人心乃至令人不安的历史文化主题。作为自1970年代中期以来首部以明信片艺术媒介为主题的通用出版物，《明信片时代》按主题分章，涵盖都市生活、女性角色变迁、体育运动、名人文化、新技术、新艺术风格典藏卡及第一次世界大战等章节，既生动呈现世纪之交的社会关注与生活趣味，亦成为劳德浩瀚馆藏的精华缩影。

In the decades around 1900, postcards were Twitter, email, Flickr and Facebook, all wrapped into one. A postcard craze swept the world, and billions of cards were bought, mailed and pasted into albums.

Many famous artists turned to the new medium, but one of the great pleasures and enigmas of postcards is how some of the most beautiful and interesting examples were made by artists whose names we barely know. 

Drawing on the riches of the Leonard A. Lauder Postcard Collection (probably the finest and most comprehensive collection of its type), this gorgeous book traces the historical and cultural themes--enthralling, exciting, and sometimes disturbing--of the modern age. The first general publication on the postcard as an artistic medium since the mid-1970s,

The Postcard Age is organized thematically, with chapters devoted to urban life, the changing role of women, sports, celebrity, new technologies, the stylish collectors' cards of Art Nouveau and World War I. The result is at once a vivid picture of the concerns and pastimes of the turn of the century and a sampler from the Lauder's vast archives.
