Re: Postcard history
I am sorry it took so long to get this information, but I really had to dig. Here are some of the more helpful sources I found when I did a study of postcards a few years ago:
Applegate, Ray D. Trolleys and Streetcars: On American Picture Postcards. NY: Dover Publications, 1979.
Cox, Roy. How to Price and Sell Old Picture Postcards. Baltimore: Braemer Press, 1989.
Hals, Peter Bacon. "American Views and the Romance of Modernization." In Photography in Nineteenth Century America. Fort Worth: Amon Carter Museum of Western Art; NY: Harry N. Abrams, 1991, pp. 236-242.
Lowe, James L. and Ben Papell. Detroit Publishing Company Collector's Guide. Flushing, NY: Ben Pappell, 1975.
Monahan, Valeria. An American Postcard Collector's Guide. Dorset: Blandford Press, 1981.
Morgan, Hal and Andreas Brown. Prairie Fires and Paper Moons: The American Photographic Postcard 1900-1920. Boston: David R. Godine, 1981 (and forward by John Baskin).
Pyle, Christine A. "For Rent." Image File 6 No. 4, 1991, pp. 9-10.
Ryan, Dorothy B. Picture Postcards in the United STates 1893-1918. NY: Clarkson N. Potter, 1982.
Staff, Frank. The Picture Postcard and Its Origins. Washington: Frederick A. Praeger, 1967 (and intro by James Laver).
Zaid, Barry. Wish You Were Here: A Tour of America's Great Hotels During the Golden Age of the Picture Postcard. NY: Crown, 1990.
Zigrosser, Carl and Christa M. Gaehde. A Guide to the Collecting and Care of Original Prints, NY: Crown, 1971.
If anyone has any other sources to add, I would be grateful to hear of them!
