Women of the world
by Tom Gillmor and Luci Gosling March 4, 2021
To mark International Women’s day on Monday, 8th March, we present a celebration of women around the world drawing from the incredible Grenville Collins collection of historic postcards. These twelve image spreads represent a wider range of evocative images that document the costume, customs and cultural heritage of women across the continents.
