The backsides of postcards are remarkably consistent across different producers, and often provide a clue as to the date of issuance. I have scanned unwritten examples to associate with each card - these are the same as the ones used on each card, but without any writing that might be present on that particular card.

Ern. Thill, Bruxelles, another postcard back for the French lacemaker photo. I think this might be a reprint - the grain of the photo isn't quite right.

Divided backs started to appear in France in 1907, and were in general use by 1910.

Return to Ern. Thill postcards.
