From the Collection, Spring 2022
Throughout the early 1900s Lena Friedrichs kept in touch with friends and family by sending postcards. During the first fifteen years of the 1900s, postcards were an immensely popular way to send a quick note to loved ones, much like a text message with emojis today.
Postcards came in all sorts of designs for just about every occasion and sentiment that a sender could imagine. Lena’s collection demonstrates this wide variety. Some of the postcards send a holiday greeting or a congratulations, while others are photographs of places that family and friends had visited. Still others are much more whimsical! Now that Lena’s collection has been digitized, I wanted to share some favorites with you.
Thank you to all the volunteers who digitized these postcards!
