Below are the images that accompany the article Once Upon a Postcard by Omar Khan in the Dhau Annual for non-European History 2019 Bildpostkarten als historische Quellen der aussereuropaischen Geschichte [Postcards as Historical Sources of Non-European History], Edited by Tilman Frasch, Rohrig Universitaets Verlag, Germany, 2019, pp. 81-96.

Dr. Frasch's summary: "This article illumines the meaning of postcards in terms of three points: firstly, the image as constituent for memories. Secondly, he investigates the conclusions the interplay of picture and text allow in the context of colonist vs. Indian), this too with humorous and extreme examples. Thirdly, the parallels between postcards and todays digital media are described."
