For more than a century, travelers have
been sending postcards home from wherever their wanderings
took them. Most postcards today are beautiful, glossy
photographic peeks at a place, but older versions
have a special beauty all their own: sepia tones,
hand tinted black & white, documentary-style "real
photos," color-saturated "linens" and
more, all offering us glimpses of the past.
We have gathered just a handful from our collection
for you to see
or send.
We invite you to take a look through
a few of our albums and see if you can recognize any
places or things. Click here to view these categories:
Missions
| Trees | Fruits
(more categories to come!)
You
also can send a postcard to a pal.
It's free, with our compliments. Here's how: Click
to select one of our postcards
and click again to compose and send your message.
Send as many as you like.
And if you are not in the California Countryside right
this very minute, send
one to yourself to remind yourself to
come here soon!
