But it was revolutionary when the Eastman Kodak Company in 1903, unveiled a new postcard camera that produced a postcard - size negative that could print directly onto a blank card. Suddenly almost anyone amateurs and entrepreneurial photographers alike could take a picture of neighbors at home and at work local celebrations newsworthy disasters sightseeing trips and turn it into a postcard. This book captures this moment in the history of communications from around 1900 to 1930 through a generous selection of what came to be known as real photo postcards from the extensive Leonard A. Lauder Postcard Archive.
