536CVSouth of the Border. One-of-a-kind lifetime collection of over 5,000 standard picture postcards showing the history, culture, and economy of Mexico, with a focus on the first half of the twentieth century. Beautifully organized accumulation divided into topical and geographical categories. We noticed cards depicting native costumes, social and historic events, regional customs, market places, family life, individual states and cities, etc. Most cards are sleeved, and there is a mix of posted and unposted items. Occasional wear and tear visible, but most cards are F-VF. Includes lithos, white border cards, chromes, many hundreds of RPPCs, and more. Not only a strong postcard collection, but also a fascinating overview of a complex culture.Cat. Value: S.B. 1000.00
