Historical Notes
Real Photo Postcards were made by printing a photographic negative directly onto postcard paper, creating an actual photograph rather than a commercially printed image.
TheKRUXOmarking on the reverse identifies the photographic paper used to produce the postcard. Combined with the divided-back design, it supports a production date of approximately1907–1922, with many KRUXO postcards dating to the early 1910s.
