It was the fashion for young women to collect postcards in the 1900s. Between 1906 and 1909, Leah Barker collected over 200 postcards. Postcards for birthdays and Christmas were added to her collection. They provide a fascinating glimpse into Leah’s social life, stars of the Theatre, humour, New Zealand and overseas and her favourite – animals. Scroll down to browse through a selection.
