postcard
Envelope-free mailing
A postcard is a small card for sending a brief message through the mail without an envelope, typically with a picture on one side and space for writing and an address on the other.
Postcards are associated with travel—tourists send them from vacation spots: Wish you were here!
A postcard-perfect scene is one worthy of being photographed for such a card.
