Postcards

The zebra has made us dream
for a very long time. It’s one of
the main symbols of the African
continent. It has been present in
zoos for many years and it’s very
recognisable on old black and
white postcards. What’s more,
the zebra also makes for a good
illustration subject.
There are three different zebra
species: Burchell’s zebra or plains
zebra, the mountain zebra and
Grevy’s zebra, which is the largest
and most common one! The glo-
bal population is 800,000 and a
zebra can live up to 40 years.

We have over 1,500 postcards
featuring this strange African
animal. Come and discover
them!
