The idea for the first decorated post card came to John P. Charlton in 1861. He thought a simple card with a border would be a great way to send a note. Then in the late 1800s, post cards with pictures appeared. By law, people had to write their note on the front — on the picture! The back was only for the address. Several years later, England allowed a divided-back post card. Then people could write their note on the back left side and put the address on the right. During the early 1900s, the golden age of post cards, picture post cards became a universal craze. In 1908, Americans alone mailed over 677 million cost cards. Today, post cards are the third most popular collectible in the world after stamps and coins.
