Description

Sunken Gardens Marquette Michigan State Prison Postcard Curt Teich 1950s Color. This listing is for one Vintage White Border Era Postcard as shown in the photos. White Border postcards were produced primarily from approximately 1915 through the late 1920s, with some examples extending into the early 1930s. They are defined by the plain white margin surrounding the image, a design choice that reduced ink usage and production costs during a period of expanding postcard demand. This format became especially common in the years following World War I as publishers sought efficient methods to meet widespread public interest in postcards. Collectors value White Border postcards for their clear historical placement and documentary quality. Their imagery often presents realistic, straightforward views rather than heavily stylized scenes, making them useful visual records of the interwar period. Postmarks, handwritten messages, and period printing details further enhance their appeal to collectors and historians alike.
