postcards

Before World War I, Ellen Clapsaddle’s illustrations were the most famous of all those created during the postcard craze.

The glory days of the postcard are long gone, but one New York City storefront on fashionable Fifth Avenue is bringing the postcard back into vogue.

Baby giant pandas, rare okapis, and scarlet ibises are some of the animals that are featured on 450 historical postcards—dating from 1903 to the 1980s—that are now available online.
