Antique & Vintage Postcards

A red kangaroo doe stands alert on a lush green lawn, her joey peeking with wide-eyed curiosity from the pouch — a perfectly composed wildlife moment captured for John Hinde Limited, the Irish postcard powerhouse whose vivid, over-saturated chrome photography defined the global souvenir postcard aesthetic of the 1960s and 70s, from the beaches of Bali to the bush of Victoria. Photographed by E. Ludwig at John Hinde Studios, this card is part of the firm's acclaimed Australian series distributed by P.N.G. Ltd., 289 Burwood Rd., Hawthorn, Vic., Australia. The back features John Hinde's iconic three-circle logo and an Australia map badge with natural history text noting that kangaroos were "the first Australian native pouched animals described by the earliest explorers and naturalists." Printed and published by John Hinde Limited, Cabinteely, Co. Dublin, Republic of Ireland. Unused and in excellent condition — a genuinely collectible example from a publisher whose cards now command strong prices among dedicated followers.
