Postcard Eras and Types Pioneer Era 1870 - 1898 The first privately (not government) printed postcard was produced in 1870 in connection with the Franco-Prussian War. Advertising cards first appeared in England in 1872. An 1889 Heligoland card is considered the first multi-colored card. Cards in 1889 and 1890 featuring the Eiffel Tower captured peoples' imaginations and deltiology was on its way to incredible popularity, past and present. The earliest-known U.S. exposition card was issued in 1873 and featured the main building of the Inter-State Industrial Exposition in Chicago. This card, as well as other early advertising cards (usually bearing vignette designs), were not originally intended as souvenirs. The first cards printed intentionally as souvenirs were available at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago. During this period all privately printed cards required the regular two cent letter rate postage, but the government printed Postal Cards beginning in 1873. These required only one cent postage, which was already imprinted on the card when purchased. Until May 19, 1898, when the Private Mailing Card Act became effective, only the U.S. Post Office was allowed to print cards. After that date, private companies were allowed to produce cards. The private mailing cards (PMCs) cost only one cent to mail instead two cents, giving them an obvious advantage over letters. The term "Private Mailing Card" was required on cards that were not printed by the United States government, and only the government was allowed to print the word "Postcard" on the back of postcards. Private publishers used the terms Souvenir Card, Correspondence Card, or Mail Card. Most postcards up until 1898 are "Undivided Back" cards - t is no dividing line down the center of the back. Messages - even one word or name other than the address - were not allowed on the address side of any postcard until March 1, 1907. Messages were only permitted on the front side, either over white areas intentionally left blank for that purpose, or over the image on the card. If a postcard mailed during this period had anything written on the back other than the name and address of the intended recipient, it was considered to be a letter and two cents postage was required - any additional words on the back disqualified it from being entitled to the one cent postcard rate. If such a card was mailed using one cent postage it was either returned to the sender or delivered with one ...
