HAL’s Amsterdam Postcard Series now includes 42 scenes – And more coming!
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries there were literally hundreds of postcards of Amsterdam printed.
These cards were a source of civic pride and showed friends, relatives, and acquaintances worldwide that “this is Amsterdam”. Few cards of Amsterdam were produced in recent years until the Historic Amsterdam League initiated production of annual sets in conjunction with the neighborhood tour programs. The HAL series now includes 42 cards – six more are on the way for 2018 – and it will continue to grow through the coming years. Get the set for “your” part of the city, start or add to your HAL postcard collection, or just pick up an individual card or two to send out into the world and once again announce that
“This is Amsterdam”.
