The Postcard Craze, 1905-1915
The first two decades of the 1900s are considered to be the golden age of postcards. The craze for sending and
collecting postcards began in Europe in the 1890s and soon infected the United States. An article in the
November 1, 1903, issue of the San Francisco Call noted that the fad was "spreading fast in this country." A
confluence of events created perfect conditions in the United States for the spread of "postcarditis," as some
journalists called the craze. In May 19, 1898, Congress approved a special one-cent rate for postcards. Between 1900 and 1903, the number of one-cent stamps issued by the Department increased by nearly 43 percent, from 965,632,600
to 1,377,294,800
