Seller's Description
I offer a postcard: Sandbag Wedding, Islington Register Office, 1939.
Publisher: IRIS Publishing Nostalgia Postcard. Set 50.
Nostalgia postcards were published between 1990 & 1992 by Iris Publishing. They were always intended as collectors items - the reverse side containing details relating to the postcard image on the front. As such they are a wonderful study of social history. They cover British Life between the 1890s and 1950s with 15 themes ranging from Country Life, to The Seaside, to Fashion and Transport. 1200 cards were produced in total.
This extra information was supplied by eBayer, auntshreddie:
I must tell you that this is my late Aunt Alice (Lally) and Uncle Charlie. They were the first 'sandbag wedding' at Islington Registry office. On the right is my great Aunt Martha! My mum is still alive (Lally's sister). The photo was originally in The daily Mirror in 1939 and has turned up in many books about WW2. Lal and Charlie lived to celebrate their golden wedding, but she later died of a heart attack and Charlie sadly died years later in a car crash. Both are sadly missed by their family.
Condition: Excellent. Note that this is a relatively recent reproduction of a 1930s photo.
All postcards are sent in a protective sleeve and a stiffened envelope.
