Early and Pre 1930, White Border: (Around 1898 to 1930)

Pioneer Era (Pre 1898) — Most pre-1898 postcards share a few common traits: The postcard of this era is characterized by an undivided back (no line going down the center of the back of the postcard), and many con- tain printed lines on the back for the name of the addressee and his address only.

Private Mailing Card Era (1898 to December 24, 1901) — On May 19, 1898, by an act of Congress, private printers were granted permission to print and sell cards that bore the inscription “Private Mailing card.” Cost of postage reduced from 2 cents to 1 cent.

Undivided Back “Postcard” Era (December 24, 1901 to March 1, 1907) — The use of the word “POST CARD/POSTCARD” (as one or two words) was granted by the government to private printers. Writing was still not permitted on the address side.

Divided Back Era (March 1, 1907 to 1915) (Golden Age) —Postcards with a divided back were finally permit- ted on March 1, 1907. The address had to be written on the right side of the back of the postcard while the left side was reserved for writing messages.

White Border Era (1915-1930) —After WWI printers of view postcards, to save ink, a white border was left around the view, thus we call them “White Border” postcards. The higher cost of post-war publishing com- bined with inexperienced labor caused the production of poorer quality cards.
