Whether as an afterthought for holidaymakers or a happy surprise for recipients, postcards, with their bright pictures and scrawled messages, are still widely familiar today, even in a time of messenger apps and Instagram holiday selfies.

People are still sending them even in these digital times, mostly from their holiday destinations but also to mark birthdays or Christmas.
