During the early 20th century, many correspondents elected to use Sir Isaac Pitman's shorthand system of lines, circles, ticks, hooks and dots to send messages by postcard, whether to maximize available writing space or keep their dispatches secret. In this well-illustrated volume, Kathryn Baird transcribes 50 such communications, written between 1901 and 1917, uncovering stories of penfriends, sweethearts, holidays and the First World War.
