Some fantastic photos in this thread. I finally got my thumb out and scanned my grandfather's collection of late '30s postcards from the US sent him by a friend or relative who had moved there. Too bad I can't ask him. They seem to be hand colourised photos, between 1937 and 1939. They made it all the way to good old pre-war, pre-commie Czechoslovakia. Most of the cards were never sent, maybe because of ze war?    http://www.flickr.com/photos/hellcanwait/sets/72157623868186352/

RangerScum posted:Are you sure these are photographs? There seems to be an extreme lack of detail but I guess that could come from how the artist colored them in. I gave these a closer look and googled around some. Tthese are "C.T.Art-Colortone" linen postcards. A lot of them look like watercolours and all are pretty low-res/quality compared what's available today. The garish colours they are touched up with further add to the un-photographic quality. Still most of them are recognisable as photos rather than drawings, which I think makes them all. I know this isn't really the thread for historical photographs/postcards, but I didn't know where else to put them... Does anyone know any more about these? (see a lot of these around, but no info on how they were made, techniques used, etc).
