In 2010, the Internet and text messaging are in full swing, Facebook and social networks are places for exchanging, communicating and gathering friends, and sending postcards is old-fashioned, hasbeen, no fun.

So I set out to find out why this little piece of cardboard with a photograph had been so successful, had created so much wealth, so many fortunes, had transported recipients to travel, knowledge, happiness and sometimes sadness.

In 2013, I became interested in publishers: Dieulefils is the publisher of Vietnam”, Raquez, the publisher of Laos, and the others .....
I then discovered the remarkable site of Marie-Hélène Degroisse (who passed away in 2012),

I thought why not, in my own way, enhance Ms. Degroisse’s research and knowledge with postcards from today’s market .

The slide show on publishers will give you an idea of the multitude of postcard authors, photographers and publishers present in Indochina.
