Postcards

[Jonnieola]

Are there any postcard sets featuring Whitechapel. Postcards were at their peak around the late nineteenth century, early twentieth century and I've seen sets featuring train crashes for example so a Ripper set wouldn't seem so strange.

Something to keep an eye out for.

Check out 'Eastender's Postcards' by Brian Girling.

Wonderful book showing a collection of Postcards from Londons Eastend including Whitechapel.

Postcards of the East End can be purchased relatively cheaply on ebay. The Petticoat Lane market, for example, is a fairly popular subject for picture postcards.
