The Golden Age of American postcards In the early an mid-20th century, there were many postcard publishers and printers. Postcards of growing cities turned up in all corners of the world and they often showed the the new build skyscrapers.Writings were not permitted by law on the address side of any postcard until March 1, 1907. For this reason, many postcards up to 1907 have messages on the picture side. Different publishers and printers often used the same photograph and changed colors or objects. Skies were often washed out of the photograph and the retoucher would draw new skys in. Objects showing specific fashion or other tell tale details were removed and give the same photograph longer shelf life. People, cars, and boats were also sometimes added. Because of this new industry the first decade of the 20th century is considered the ‘Golden Age’ of picture postcards as the immigrants wanted to show ‘the new world’ to the folks back home.
