Description:
An unusual real photo postcard of two figures
-- two women? a boy and a girl?
Real photo postcards were first popular in the
early decades of the 20th century, and are still
made today. Not to be confused with mass
produced, lithographed postcards, these are
actual photographs with postcard markings
printed on the back of the photographic paper.
The arrangement and design of the postcard
backing can often be used to date the card.
Some real photo postcards are
multiple-printed images produced for sale by
professional photographers. Others are
unique prints, snapshots or other
photographs which were printed on the
postcard back rather than on standard
photographic paper. These are the most
valuable, since they are essentially
one-of-a-kind images. The value of a
photograph is not to be diminished merely
because it is printed on a postcard back. As
an example, vintage real photo cards made by
Andre Kertesz in the 1930s now sell for tens of
thousands of dollars each.or...?
