Research : 'Boring Postcards' by Martin Parr

This is a lovely book and another example of someone’s slightly odd version of a ‘museum of the ordinary’. Martin Parrs book ‘Boring postcards’ does exactly what it says on tin. It is book full to the brim with ‘boring’ postcards. The term ‘boring’ shouldn’t be taken too seriously because in fact this is a very interesting book. Many of the postcards are beautiful and show nice examples of British architecture, not to mention the great feeling of nostalgia the book gives you. I have included a few of my favourite examples from the book.
