Mrs. Merryman’s Collection

Mrs. Merryman’s Collection presents 43 postcards collected by Anne-Marie Merryman between 1937 and 1980 and rediscovered by Anne Sophie Merryman following her grandmother's death.


Each of the intriguing postcards reveal a detailed reverse, complete with handwritten messages and exotic stamps, encouraging the reader to unravel the secrets that the collection has hidden.


While Anne-Marie and Anne Sophie never met, both their lives were inspired by the postcard collection – a relationship that was born, and continues to flourish, in the realms of the imagination.


Mrs. Merryman’s Collection originated as a book that was winner of the First Book Award 2012, a photography publishing prize by MACK, London, and National Media Museum, Bradford.
