"Indeed, as one postcard historian notes, the craze for collecting hometown topographical is particularly pronounced in France, where the topographical is the dominant category, a situation deeply bound up with the French of the terroir, of a national and personal identity rooted in a specific place of origin. Some French collectors, especially of Parisian postcards, are even said to push their sense of the local so far as to specialize in a single street, no doubt their own.”
