FREE: Vintage Unused Photo Post Card Green River Gorge. Nice

♦ sometime around 1907 or so.. as there is a white border and the border didn't start 1915 ?? kind of confusing to date.

Undivided Back Era (1901-1907)

New U.S. postal regulations on December 24, 1901 stipulated that the words “Post Card” should be printed at the top of the address side of privately printed cards. Government-issued cards were to be designated as “Postal Cards”. Writing was still not permitted on the address side. In this era, private citizens began to take black and white photographs and have them printed on paper with post card backs.

If no message was permitted on the address side, the card probably predated March of 1907

White Border Era (1915-1930)

Most post cards produced in the United States were printed during this period. To save ink, publishers left a border around the view, thus these post cards are referred to as “White Border” cards. Due to the relatively high cost of labor, along with inexperience and changes in public taste, the quality of the mass produced cards in this era began to decline. Furthermore, strong competition in a narrowing market caused many publishers to go out of business.

** what photo publishing company? can't read it..

Thanks for the info. I have more post cards that are unused but I am not an expert on them. I just used to collect them as they were old and neat.
