1922-1996.
The contents cover a large number of the major peaks in the Himalayas, as well as a few to other ranges. Many of the postcards have photographic images on one side, with signatures of the expedition members to the other. The vast majority are in addition postally used. There are also a large number of commemorative or expedition covers.
The cards themselves range from sets of pictorial postcards issued for the 1920s Everest expeditions (three complete series with their original envelopes), through the expedition of the 1960s and 1970s such as the 1971 International Everest expedition, Bonington's 1970 Annapurna and 1975 Everest expeditions, the 1978 Everest without oxygen expedition of Messner and Habeler, to the first winter ascent of Everest by the Polish team in 1981 that included Wielicki (a cover).
