We've got mail. Euro Max has received colorful postcards from almost all over the world. But how are these wonderful little cards made in the first place? Photographer Engel Montmartre is in the Baltic seaside resort of Cala Munda, on the lookout for the perfect postcard motif. Here we have a nice reflection in the water. You can see the yachts mirrored in it. In the background there is the famous old lighthouse, the High Rises, a hotel, which is also a landmark of travel moonda. And it's a good alternative to the standard beach shots. The Lubeck based publisher, Schoening, commissioned to single Montmartre to shoot images for the travel ban. The postcard. The company produces some 11 million postcards a year. They're still important because they are simply part of people's holidays. If you ask folks what makes up their vacation, they say, eat ice cream, playing mini golf, going, swimming and writing postcards. That's why business is still good or not can scoot. A graphic artist edits single van marcas images on his computer. Then they're printed and coated with a high gloss finish. Finally there, machine cut and stacked mhm in Europe, the history of postcards began with this correspondence card. It came into circulation in Austria, Hungary on October. The 1st 18 69 an exhibition at Berlin's Museum for Communication shows samples from when postcards were in their heyday in the late 19th century. Mhm. It was a means of communication for common people who weren't that used to writing. Back then, there was this whole letter writing culture with complex guidelines on how to compose a letter. Postcards were more direct. You could send messages quicker, using short stock phrases and that caught on in 19 oh, five, half a billion postcards circulated in the German high alone. Humor played a role, and many declarations of love were delivered. There was a series of cards with Good Morning, good Day, good Evening and Goodnight printed on them. A pair of lovers exchanged them in cars. War in 19 oh four. What's interesting is they arrived the same day. That was only possible because mail was delivered so often up to 11 times a day in Berlin, a little less frequently in Karlsruhe. Nowadays, there are many passionate postcard collectors as a child in Moscow, arson, melatonin love to look at his grandfather's many postcards. He later inherited them and is today on the chair of the Union of Philatelists of Russia. An exhibition in Moscow looks at everyday life in the city over a century ago. Back then, ordinary Muscovites were a popular postcard motif. Here is a project talking about types, types of people who lived in a city at the end of the 19th century beginning of the 20th century. Nobody was choosing the most prestigious people or all the nobles, all kinds of people. Somebody walking in the street or feeding pigeons doesn't matter. That's what's interesting. The captured, the moments. Looking back, we can see how people dressed and lived in the past. But does the postcards still have a future? A lot of countries. Still, postcards are used to send the best greetings with holidays. Not always a mess, not only sending something on email but also using a postcard. This is a good tradition, and though there are faster and cheaper ways to send greetings, people are still happy to receive a postcard
