Dogs on Postcards

Loyal Companions in Art and Culture

For centuries, dogs have appeared in art as symbols of loyalty, friendship, and caring. In paintings, they accompany portraits of aristocratic families, hunters, and even saints. In the 19th century, with the rise of photography and postcards, dogs also became the heroes of everyday scenes – amusing, affectionate, and recognizable companions in life.

Dog postcards have enjoyed immense popularity for a long time. The first postcards appeared in the latter half of the 19th century as a quick and inexpensive means of communication. Soon after, they gained popularity across Europe – combining a message with an image, they were a modern equivalent of SMS and Instagram.

A Brief History of Postcards and Their Role in Communication

Initially, postcards mostly depicted city views and landscapes, but they quickly began to showcase scenes from everyday life, animals, holidays, and humor. They became not only a means of communication but also collector's items and souvenirs. Today, although technology has changed communication methods, postcards still connect people – personal, tangible, and full of charm.

Why Are Dogs the Ideal Motif for Postcards?

Loyalty, Joy, and a Universal Language of Emotions

Dogs have accompanied humans for thousands of years – not only as guards and helpers but primarily as faithful friends. Their presence in art, literature, and culture is long-standing and rich. On postcards, dogs perfectly convey the emotions we wish to express: tenderness, longing, joy, care. One glance at a charming spaniel or playful puppy is enough to bring a smile to the recipient's face – regardless of age or location.

Symbolism of Dogs in Cultures:

  • In Europe, dogs symbolize loyalty and faithfulness – often appearing at the feet of saints, knights, and ladies as a sign of devotion. 
  • In Japan, dogs (especially inu figurines) protect the home and family from harm – they are a talisman of luck. 
  • In ancient Egypt, Anubis – the god with the head of a jackal – was a guardian of the dead and a symbol of passage. 
  • Among Native American cultures, the dog is a spiritual guide and soul companion. 
  • In folk art – from Scandinavian embroidery to Polish paper cutouts – the dog is the guardian of the home.

Beloved by people worldwide, dogs have become a delightful motif on postcards. And the dogs on postcards are true stars – from the gentle Labrador who looks ready to give out cuddles to the serious German Shepherd. The pug is usually the master of funny expressions, and the dachshund... is the dog that proves that a long body and short legs are a recipe for unexpected acrobatics and lots of canine charm!
