The Canadian Northwest shared in that grand tradition, and the time was right for a great Canadian cowboy showcase.

Postcards from Grants Pass: Colored Postcards of Early Grants Pass
ISBN: 9781494719692 / Angielski / Miękka / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Late 19th Century and early 20th Century postcards are interesting in that many are not postcards in the sense that we think of them today. When home photography became popular with the little Kodak box camera, most photos that were developed had a postcard motif on the backside. The camera shop that developed the film or maybe the film maker put a postcard outline on the back of each photo. That way the photographer could share the photo by simply writing the address and message on the back of the photograph. They were one shot, one-of-a-kind photos. We have many of these personal postcards...
