travel postcards

Vacation mail keepsakes

Travel postcards are cards featuring images of tourist destinations, landmarks, or scenic views, designed to be mailed home while traveling.

They serve as both souvenirs and brief correspondence: She sent travel postcards from every city on her trip.

The tradition has faded with digital communication, though collectors still seek vintage examples.
