There are embroidered postcards from the WWl period.
Is there an easy way to distinguish which ones are hand embroidered from those embroidered by machine ?
The history behind these embroidered postcards is quite interesting and I am hoping to learn more about them . Hope someone can help

This is one of those questions that make many of us
wish that Richaard was still with us -
I'd be willing to bet he had the answer.
You've probably already found these, but for others here are some informative links:

Amazing information
Thankyou for sharing.
A fellow collector spoke about hand embroidered cards in her collection. Now this sheds new info on the claim.

Most of the embroidered postcards I've seen have been ethnographic.
"Traditional costumes of Spain" seem to be the most common, though there certainly are others.
They are usually well-executed, colorful, and have held-up well.
