BILINGUAL ENGLISH / SPANISH EDITION From the end of the nineteenth century through to the 1930s, the postcard was a hugely popular format for correspondence, and for transcontinental communication in particular. It was in part through its picture postcard imagery that Argentina captured the imagination of the world beyond its own shores. As this enchanting volume attests, in the concise format of these humble cards, Argentina not only began to announce itself to the world, but also to define its self-image. Desde finales del s. XIX y hasta entrada la d???cada del '30, la postal se consagr??? como un medio de comunicaci???n. Entre lo p???blico y lo privado, el ???lbum fue su espacio privilegiado. Si la miniaturizaci???n del mundo fue una pieza clave en el desarrollo de la conciencia moderna, el ???lbum postal vino a representar perfectos microcosmos. De la oscuridad a la luz, gracias a la postal fotogr???fica, el territorio argentino comenz??? a ser objeto de la mirada p???blica mundial en una magnitud sin previos precedentes. De diversidad abrumadora, se diferencian con claridad dos motivos generales: las postales rom???nticas y las nacionales. Las ???ltimas apelaban a estrictos criterios geopol???ticos: paisajes pintorescos para el extranjero, ciudades sin d???as nublados, indios emplumados y gauchos r???sticos. A trav???s de ellas, el pa???s no s???lo comenzaba a mostrarse al mundo, sino tambi???n a verse a s??? mismo.
