Historical Note
Postcards began circulation as a convenient means of quick and often colorful communication in the mid-to-late 19th century.
Both American and European publishers took advantages of the postcard craze of the early 20th Century as millions of postcards
of a variety of subjects and topics were produced, circulated, and collected. The popularity of postcard collecting diminished
during World War I and postcards have never achieved quite the popularity they initially held, but postcards are still widely
produced, circulated, and collected worldwide for various reasons and occasions.
