Description: A beautiful comprehensive collection of antique China and Shanghai-specific postcards which take you through the colonial era of China, 1890-1945. The text is written by Felicitas Titus (M.A. in German and French Languages from U.C. Berkeley) who was born and raised in China during the years of 1925-1950, and who is an expert on Chinese history. Her commentary provides just enough explanation of the events and people of that period to make the postcards come alive. The entire book is filled with historically significant and lovely images, capturing Chinese life at that time.
