HISTORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES

United States postcards took off around 1907 when senders were allowed to write messages on the backs of the cards. Earlier, from 1901 to 1906, senders could only address the cards on the back and there was only a small space (if any) reserved on the front for a message. Historic postcards are a popular collector’s item. as of 03/25/2021 MISSOURI POSTCARD COLLECTION, MS398
