Description:
On postcard backing; Studio stamp and inventory
number 2172 burned into negative, lower left. A French
real photo postcard. 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. Keywords: nude;
