Guest Speaker:
Jeff FitzGerald
Our guest speaker will be Jeff FitzGerald, Vice-President of the New South Wales Postcard Collectors Society.
Jeff has been collecting historic postcards since 1982, when quite by chance he stumbled across a bundle in an antique shop in Tokyo. His extensive collection reveals our social history, consisting of ‘postcard moments in time’ depicting a wide range of aspects such as socialising, working, recreation, rural life and industry; as well as depictions of Aboriginal people and what this tells us about mainstream Australia of the time. They also contain the work of noted artists who illustrated postcards in the early 1900s, including May Gibbs, Norman Lindsay, Ida Rentoul Outhwaite and more.
As always, please keep an eye on our website in case of any last-minute changes.
The venue is Gordon Library Meeting Room No. 1, in the Old Gordon Public School, which adjoins the Gordon Library, 799 Pacific Highway, Gordon (corner Pacific Highway and Park Avenue).
It’s just a 5-minute walk from Gordon Station.
