Postcards from the past

For over a hundred years, postcards have been sent all over the world from Banat. In the summer of 1897, the Banater postcards became popular on the market.  Photos of cities, villages and cultural scenes from the Banat were printed on postcards. Years later, the postcards became collectors items because they brought back memories. Four of the most popular collectors were, Erwin Acs, Johann Hoch, Walter Konschitzky and Anton Schulz. These four gentlemen donated some of their fine collections of postcards to the "Landsmannschaft der Banater Schwaben Club." As always, the club utilizes some of the material to publish books or annual Calendars. (Alex Leeb)
