The message side of a postcard of a mountain gorilla holding a flower at the San Diego Zoo
EKC photo paper
The message side of this untraveled postcard has a message printed on it in pencil. This is a Real Photo Post Card (RPPC) made with EKC photo paper (as evidenced in the stampbox). The Real Photo process allowed photographers to take a "snap shot" and have it finished at a photo shop that printed it out on postcard backing for mailing. This EKC photo paper was made from 1930-1950.
