What JF Bastok buys in Watermael-Boitsfort
Old Belgian and foreign postcards (China, Persia, Russia…) from 1880 to 1945: old advertising, small towns and villages, cars, trains, ships, shops and street scenes.
What determines the value
A postcard is worth above all for its subject: a busy village street, a shop front, a tram or a station interest collectors more than a widely printed view of a monument. Publisher, condition and rarity of the view do the rest.
