There must be many collectors that share that whimsical nostalgia that I feel for these postcards because they are now gaining popularity. Curt Teich has become very well known for their easy to follow dating system and because they printed thousands if not millions of these cards.
One of favorites categories are the night scenes. I love all night scenes postcards but especially the linen. The over saturated colors of the linen postcards made the scenes absolutely pop. The moon seems to glow and in many the shadows cast by the moonlight haunt the card eerily.
Here a couple from my collection that are my favorite!

I love linen postcards too, Colleen, and so my items for the Linky Party this week were made with them!
