Picture postcard history

BBC4 showed an interesting history of the picture postcard under the title of The Picture Postcard World of Nigel Walmsley. The programme can be viewed here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b014r789 The only point of disagreement is that I would argue that the picture postcard did not democratise images of the working class - the carte de visite and photography had done that some fifty years beforehand.
