Postcard collectors like to say, “If it exists, it’s on a postcard.” Indeed, it seems that each of the collectors — who practice #deltiology — in the Metropolitan Postcard Club of New York City has been tasked with tending over a small corner of the universe. “A lot of the things don’t exist anymore, so they’re an important historical record,” said Rod Kennedy, the president of the club. “We are sort of the custodians.” As a group, these #collectors have rescued at least a few million postcards. Here, @vincenttullo photographed one member browsing through shoeboxes filled with #postcards, all sorted by topic. “Clocks,” “Coat of Arms,” read the labels on one box. “Disney,” “Erotica,” “Ethnic Customs,” “Exaggeration/Fantasy,” “Fairs and Expos,” “Families,” “Fire Fighting,” “Flags.” The postcard era began around 1900, when the printing of commercial postcards took off around the U.S. and Europe. Collecting started almost right away. It had a lot to do with early mass tourism. “People would entertain themselves by putting these cards in albums,” Rod said, “and they would put them in their parlors and share them to show their travels.” In other words, Instagram before the Internet.
