The first “divided back” picture postcard — with a picture on the front and both the address and message on the back — was introduced in England in 1902. The style was adopted in the U.S. in 1907. Postcards had been around since the 1860s. People sent them for casual communication (like a text but prettier) because postcard postage cost about half of what it cost to send a letter. Initially, the message was written on the picture side and the address on the reverse.
