These 3 came from The Garden State Postcard Club show last weekend.
Cyanotypes are a form of Real Photo Post Card (RPPC). Not terribly rare, but much less common than the black & white silver print card. Fun to find. The cyanotype required fewer & less toxic chemicals to develop, and were often -- if not mostly -- made by amateurs, as in the top & bottom card here.
If you want to collect them, beware of fake cyano's that were mechanically printed in blue. Online, enlarge the image to look for offset dots. At PC shows etc, bring along a magnifier.
Stalwart against the wind. Watch yer bowler!
