When America First Saw Itself in Color - Mark Byrnes - The Atlantic Cities Thanks to the Private Mailing Card Act<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postcard#Early_US_postcards> of 1898, which allowed private publishers to produce postcards, Americans started to send friends and loved ones stunning color photos with a one cent stamp (the letter rate at the time was two cents). As a result, Photochrom postcards of the Grand Canyon, Manhattan, even Native American settlements, started suddenly being sold and sent in vast quantities all around the country. Many of these images were sold by the upstart Detroit Publishing Company<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit_Publishing_Company>and taken by William Henry Jackson <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Henry_Jackson>, a Civil War vet who loved watercoloring and photography. http://bit.ly/1mYgZAY Source: http://www.theatlanticcities.com/design/2014/05/when-america-first-saw-itself-color/9098/ See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/1mYgZAY+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: https://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA IGP [log in to unmask] Dallas, Texas Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
