Description
Antique RPPC ( Real Photo Post Card )
Circa early 20th century
Printed on AZO paper, 4x triangles, a type used from 1904-1918
Sepia-toned photographic portrait of a young couple posing with a little baby.
A real photo postcard (RPPC) is a continuous-tone photographic image printed on postcard stock. The term recognizes a distinction between the real photo process and the lithographic or offset printing processes employed in the manufacture of most postcard images.
Though the first documented photo postcard was mailed in 1899, the style wasn’t firmly established until Eastman Kodak began selling Velox photo paper with a pre-printed postcard back in 1902. The introduction of the CMYK color printing process in 1934 destroyed the popularity of RPPCs.
Since it was expensive to have additional descriptive information printed on the reverse side of each postcard, many RPPCs made by smaller studios have no text to identify their images. Alternatives to printed text included using a company's handstamp or embossed mark, or exposing text directly onto the photograph’s negative.
