Description

The addition of graphic and photographic images to cards at the Paris Exposition in 1889, and legalization of the private manufacture of cards for the mails in the 1890s, led to an explosion of themes shown on the cards. By the eve of the Great War, cards were being produced and exchanged domestically and internationally that conveyed everything from religious, patriotic, or holiday messages, to cartoon art, to pictures of exotic locales and people, to pornography.
