The Post Card

A postcard is a flat piece of cardboard or thick paper sent without an envelope, typically featuring an image or photograph on one side and space for a message, the recipient's address, and a stamp on the other. Used primarily for short, casual communication or travel updates, postcards are an economical way to share snapshots of a location or moment with friends and family. They are collectible and often feature artwork, scenery, or promotional images, making them both functional and keepsake items. Postcards have been a popular means of quick, visual communication for over a century.
