The Grandmother Of Email: Vintage Easter Postcards

A postcard (originally an open letter) is a special type of postal card for sending open letters (without an envelope). Postcards first appeared in Austria on October 1, 1869. The price of these cards was quite high, so they were handled very carefully, attaching special significance to them. With the growth of industrial production in Britain in the mid-19th century, the first Easter postcards began to be printed.

Their price quickly dropped, and they began to gain incredible popularity. Now everyone could afford to congratulate their loved ones with brightly colored illustrations signed by hand. Easter postcards were kept and collected. AdmiGram.com understands how inspiring it was for our great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers a hundred years ago. A wonderful feeling of the approaching holiday.
