Art & Design

Some postcards are works of art in themselves — from museum reproductions and vintage posters to handmade designs and creative patterns. These cards capture the imagination, carrying not just a place but an artist’s vision, and reminding me that postcards can be both souvenirs and small pieces of art.

Back of the postcard with a message from the sender as mentioned in the figure caption — Postmarked April 22, 2025, with the message “I love to go to museums and places that are similar. This cultural + visitors center has some cool stuff made by the Native Alaskans here. If you ever come up, definitely visit! Good luck getting all of the states! u/Historian-Remarkable”
