About postcards
Today a greeting card is a cute trinket that you can buy for little money and make a nice addition to the gift 🎁
But this was not always the case – at the beginning of its appearance, the postcard was an expensive piece that was made by hand to order. Not everyone could afford such a luxury.
Until the twentieth century, the appearance of postcards was significantly different from what we are used to seeing in stores. These were whole works of art, painted in oils, watercolors 🎨 🖼 The production of such cards took a lot of time, so it was important to find a master in advance so that the order was completed on time 🕐
Henry Cole is considered to be the first who came up with the idea of replicating postcards for sale. In 1840, he commissioned 40 lithographs from the artist, depicting his family and the signature “Merry Christmas!” Henry Cole’s family loved the postcards so much that he decided to order 1,000 more of them for sale. For a long time, postcards were presented from hand to hand. It was not considered an ethical gesture to send plain text letters by mail.
In the twentieth century, with the advent of the first offset machines, the production of postcards became a faster process, and the prices for postcards became more affordable. Postcards were printed on the eve of the main holidays: Christmas, Easter, and later the New Year. These cards were called “congratulations”. In the future, many genres of postcards dedicated to different holidays appeared, postcards of a personal nature, for example, for father, mother, for loved ones ❤️
Today, the images on postcards have become so diverse that customers prefer minimalist designs combined with a variety of post-printing techniques such as die-cutting, embossing, embossing and others.
The first experimental printing house will embody the idea of any complexity into reality, and most importantly, on time.
