The USPS was the only establishment allowed to print postcards, and it held its monopoly until May 19, 1898, when Congress passed the Private Mailing Card Act which allowed private publishers and printers to produce postcards. The United States Postal Service began issuing pre-stamped postal cards in 1873. Thank you for understanding and we hope you enjoy browsing through the postcards! *** Everything we know about any given postcard, we placed online with the postcard. We cannot tell you who owned a building, who built a building, or what year a building was built. We cannot tell you on what street or address a certain building was located. We cannot sell you reprints for your resale business.
#Texas postcard license#
We cannot license a postcard for your use. We cannot tell you where to find a certain postcard to buy. **** We cannot send you a better quality image. What you see online here is what was sent in to us and this is all we have. We do not own these cards, nor do we have these cards in our possession. PLEASE READ Most of the images on this web site have been sent to us from postcard hounds and site patrons, so the image quality you will find is varied.
If you would like to contribute any images to this site, please e-mail your submission(s) to Gina Heffernan. You will find they are mostly pre-1960, with an occasional modern era card thrown in for good measure. Enjoy your travels through time as you view some of the old cards. Postcards not only show the wide diversity of Texas, but also allow us to record a bit of Texas history.
