Theodore Hook

Theodore Hook appears in Socialist mobility: a telling Michigan vote as the British novelist credited in the source with sending the first postcard in 1840 by mailing a card to himself in London.

The page keeps this as a source-scoped postcard-history detail. Hook helps Postcard Media Decline reach back to the medium’s origin rather than treating postcards only as a late tourist habit.
