Places not faces

JOIN US THIS SATURDAY AT THE CAMBERWELL UNITING CHURCH for our annual symposium, spots still available.

John Y a collector with many interests will take us on a tour of his postcards of people not places – the collecting principle he has adopted when buying postcards. What does that lead to? Famous faces? Infamous faces? Happy groups? Portraits of traditional dress?

John’s collection runs from the birth of the popular postcard in the 1900s through to current day. Fascinating collecting area.

Hear John this Saturday morning – pay for the morning session only $20 – 9.45 at the Webster Room, Camberwell Uniting Church, Camberwell Road, Camberwell Vic. Let us know if you can come on 0402575405 – leave a message.
