The picture postcard is nearly ninety years old. It is an original photograph, taken by someone with the newly invented kodak brownie camera and then printed onto a stiff piece of cardboard with a postcard back. This was a common practice in the early 20th century in america. People took photos of every aspect of their daily lives and sent the images through the mail to each other. This particular image is of an archingly fragile bigplane, in the perilous early days of aviation, flying solitary before an empty sky. If you look closely you can see the right end of the upper wing beginning to tear away. The message on the back of the card simply reads : "This is earl sandt of Erie Pa, in his aeroplane just before it fell".
