Religious postcards

Written by admin on 4 December, 2009 – 6:54 am -

I think that it's safe to say that people living in the Edwardian era were a lot more God fearing than nowadays is the case. Back then the majority of religious postcards produced embraced Christianity, sets such as The Ten Commandments were firm favourites, but other faiths were catered for too.

Religious movements, structures and personalities were celebrated too. So organisations such as the Salvation Army were featured, as were pictures of Popes and views of Lourdes. Churches and abbeys, cathedrals and synagogues were pictured and found their way onto postcards.

Bamforth's produced a series of Hymn cards, with sentimental pictures plus the words and score of hymns. Rock of Ages, The Old Rugged Cross and Nearer my God to Thee were three very popular examples in this series. The most poignant examples featured Nearer my God... and images of the sinking of the Titanic in 1912.
