Item description from seller

Antique postcard collection containing dozens of vintage postcards postdated in the early 1900s. From the collection of Dora Sims. Oblong octavo, bound in decorated cloth. The collection includes postcards with scenic views of Cleveland, Yellowstone National Park, Niagara Falls, the Columbia River Highway, and the Mississippi River, In very good condition. A charming collection. Production of postcards blossomed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The first known printed picture postcard, with an image on one side, was created in France in 1870 and private advertising cards started appearing in the United States around 1873, and qualified for a special postage rate of one cent. The backs of these private cards contained the words "Correspondence Card", "Mail Card" or "Souvenir Card" and required two-cent postage if they were written upon.
