The Real Photo Postcard Guide is an informative, comprehensive, and practical treatment of this wildly popular American phenomenon that dominated the United States photographic market during the first third of the twentieth century. Robert Bogdan and Todd Weseloh draw on extensive research and observation to address all aspects of the photo postcard from its history, origin, and cultural significance to practical matters like dating, purchasing, condition, and preservation.

Illustrated with over 350 exceptional photo postcards taken from archives and private collections across the country, the scope of the Real Photo Postcard Guide spans technical considerations of production, characteristics of superior images, collecting categories, and methods of research for dating photo postcards and investigating their photographers.

In a broader sense, the authors show how "real photo postcards" document the social history of America. From family outings and workplace awards to lynchings and natural disasters, every image captures a moment of American cultural history from the society that generated them.

Bogdan and Weseloh's book provides an admirable integration of informative text and compelling photographic illustrations. Collectors, archivists, photographers, photo historians, social scientists, and anyone interested in the visual documentation of America will find the Real Photo Postcard Guide indispensable.

Great coverage, easy wash out

This covered my daughter’s medium brown hair SO WELL! And to my delight, washed out very easily at the end of the night. Would absolutely recommend!

Coverage and transfer. Still pretty good!
Color: Blue
I am cosplaying Sal from Sally face for Halloween and I tested it today. It worked great! Although, it does take a lot to do full coverage for your hair, its color is vibrant and looks pretty good. But, the one thing I don't really like is that there is a LOT of transfer. I put on my shirt after my hair dried and it still got color on the shirt. It isn't staining the shirt, and washes out great, and you couldn't really notice it from far away, but it's still pretty irritating.
