In 1903, Kodak introduced a
camera designed for postcard-size film,
allowing the public to take photographs
and have them printed on postcard
backs. In 1907, Kodak introduced a
service called “Real Photo Postcards”
(RPPCs), which enabled customers to
make a postcard from any picture they
took. In 1902, Eastman Kodak began
selling photo paper with a pre-printed
postcard back.
The photo paper was made available under Kodak subsidiary companies such
as: Velox,
ASO, AZO, EKC (1940-1950), Solio
(1903-1920s), Artura (1910-1924), and
Aristo. Velox, and AZO postcards can be dated by noting the different shapes on the corners
of the stamp box. Velox - squares in
corners 1901-1914, diamonds in corners
1907-1914, and 4 triangles pointing up
1909-1914. The AZO stamp box is charted below.
The postcard back with the heading "Photo Post Card" with the stamp box
wording "Kodak, Paper" dates to 1950
and later. George Brace, George Burke's
assistant, and studio photographer
Jim
Rowe distributed Real Photo postcards
into the 1990s.
