The postcards in this collection are addressed to Annie Mitchell of Showell, Maryland. Most are stamped and date from 1908 to 1918.

The collection also includes a 1936 calendar from the Pierce Hardware Co. in Milford, Delaware and the original postcard album book. The lone photo in the collection is believed to Annie Mitchell. Postcards are an exceptional historical medium detailing infrastructure, cultural messages and societal intricacies. Postcards first appeared in 1873 being published and issued by the U.S. Post Office. Most cards were used as advertisements until the advent of the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago when the public's interest in the medium soared. Five years later, Congress allowed postcards to be published privately. With postage topping off at 1 cent, postcards were seen as an inexpensive alternative to letters. In addition, the images conveyed on many postcards rivaled works of arts. The majority of postcard publishers outsourced the work to German manufactures which could produce the images using talented and well trained workers for a fraction of the cost compared to the United States. What followed was a boon in collecting with postcards enjoying several artistic metamorphoses.
