A while back I bought out an estate sale with many Chinese items, artifacts embroideries, postcards and letters just to name a few. The family was reverend J. Frank Boucher, he got married and him and his wife traveled to China to work as missionaries. They were there from 1906 to 1940. I only tell you this because this is how I acquired these postcards that I have for sale and any other Chinese items that I have listed.
I believe these postcards were used by the church to be sent out more than likely to try to get people to donate money. It was like a promotion to solicit money and showing them pictures of the different missions. This one happens to be in Yochow China. I also have a few of the Japanese version of this postcard.
I believe these postcards were made in the early 1900s, I have tried to research long and hard and I cannot find any like this anywhere. Maybe I missed something but I’ve done it for almost a month and I can find no other information.
I would consider The Postcard to be in good shape, I prefer for you to be the judge by using the many pictures I have included.
Amazing how these people gave up their lives in America to take a ship that took weeks to get to China then there struggles to build the schools and Mission churches... Like I said there will be much more coming.
There are two other groups of the same cards that I have in my other sales
This week I will do my best to put more items on, so please check out the other items as I post them....Thank You.
If you have any questions or require anything more please ask before making an offer... Thank you and Happy New Year.
