| Abstract: | My talk concentrates on non-philatelic shows and exhibitions and excludes Agricultural and Horticultural Shows. The period is 1901-1925. Postcards (and later stamps) were issued for promotion and commemoration purposes, coupled with special postmarks. Printing of picture postcards really only started in the 1890's and it is hard to find examples dated pre-1900. These are often in vignette form with the message written around the smallish picture (see Fig 1), because on the other side was inscribed "The address is to be written on this side" This article includes a selection of the material displayed on 6th May and commences with the 1901 Exhibition of Glasgow.
