Fascination with postcards began in Europe and traveled across the Atlantic Ocean in the early 1900s.

By 1910, Americans were mailing two billion postcards per year and collecting even more of them in albums and boxes.

Join Doug Aikenhead, photographer and vintage postcard collector/dealer, as he shares his expertise on the subject.

He will discuss the postcard phenomenon, present examples that reveal the wide range of postcards that were produced during different periods, and end with some favorites from his own collection.
