Published by Int. Filmpers

In the 1950s and 1960s, the Dutch publishing house Int. Filmpers in Amsterdam issued a number of postcards in black and white of film stars and famous musicians, and later also followed TV personalities. The cards sometimes had the abbreviation I.F.P. Int. Filmpers printed a series of postcards of the Dutch film classic Fanfare (1958) directed by Bert Haanstra, and also of several West-German entertainment films. They also issued postcards for the magazine 'Song Parade' and printed film posters. For this post, we selected 20 I.F.P postcards from our collection.
