Real Photo postcard of private home in San Diego, labelled "D. Murphy"

 

1900s

 

D. Murphy

Real Photo Post Cards (RPPC) like this one were made by private or professional photographers using a Kodak process that allowed printing directly onto postcard backs. Anyone could take a "snap shot," deliver it to a photo finishing shop and have copies made to send as postcards. This appears to be a private residence in San Diego, signed by "D. Murphy," with no other identifying marks. The back of the postcard bears no message or address but does have a stamp box that indicates that the photographic paper was made by one of the makers of that 20 percent of the postcard-paper market not held by Kodak, Cyko by Ansco. This particular paper was only made from 1903-1905.
