Large antique postcard collection housed in a vintage postcard album. Includes a little over 200 postcards, with most dating to the early 1900s. The majority are used with handwritten messages, postmarks, and period stamps. Many feature divided backs, early printing styles, and turn-of-the-century imagery.
Subjects include city views, buildings, bridges, schools, scenic landscapes, small-town America, and everyday life scenes. Several postcards show clear postmarks and legible handwriting, adding strong historical and genealogical interest. A great lot for collectors, historians, ephemera dealers, or resale.
