Great large photo reproductions (postcards)

This would be a great gift for kids or adults with an interest in history or photography, to send to family or friends or to keep. The pictures are interesting and educational, and would be a good conversation starter for home or school. The photographs are very well done and beautifully reproduced. There is historical information on the back of the cards.
