ref. 69558Very Good. Light edge wear. Some with correspondence on the reverse. A couple postcards with areas of abrasion to the reverse. Two with minor markings on the front. The collection as a whole uses deltiology to explore the first half of the 20th century through a unique cultural eye. Postcards although that name was not established first began circulation during the era of the Civil War when the United States government transitioned from the stampless covers type of mail to letters enclosed in envelopes with revenue stamps sold to mail them. Thus plain penny postcards were created. Yet it wasn't until the Chicago World's Fair in 1893 that the modern "picture" postcard was introduced. Largely called private mailing cards or other names these illustrated postcards grew in popularity during 1893-1906. The pioneer era postcards had black and white and later colorful images on one side and on the verso the name and address of the recipient. No message or other writing was allowed on the back. This explains the cramped handwriting on the fronts of cards. In 1906 the US Congress passed a law allowing part of the back of the postcard to include a message with the right side still reserved for the name and address. This created an explosion in popularity of picture postcards postcard collecting groups and pen pals springing up around the world. Subsequently the name postal card post-card or post card started the modern era of pictorial correspondence and only a penny to mail. The collection includes printed postcards real photo postcards sepia tones undivided backs divided backs full bleed borders white borders lines and chromes and largely encompasses the full range and style of printing processes used for modern postcards from approximately 1900-1950.
