Vintage Real Photo Postcards of Events
Vintage postcards that feature specific events are somewhat unique to the real photo post card. With this type of postcard, any event captured on camera could be made into a postcard by processing that image on special post card paper. In this way, postcards were created of political events, sporting events, parades, social events, and disasters.
These cards captured events as they happened and can be valuable historical documents.
