NOTES OF NOSTALGIA
POSTCARDS – THE OLD FASHIONED FORM OF COMMUNICATION

 

Postcards were first introduced in the late 1800's and quickly became a very poplar means of communication.  History itself can be tracked on postcards, from streets, scenes, historical buildings, famous people, art, and more.

Postcards are also a great way to enhance, and enlighten the family history. Besides being pictorial, they serve to document people in a specific time and place.

The Tata Central Archives has a collection of over 300 postcards which were sent or received by members of the Tata Family.

These select twelve historical postcards of Bombay all written in French capture moments in the Tata Family history.
