1. Postcards, 1897-2003
Scope and Contents
Postcards consist of two subseries: postcard portfolios organized by Rosenthall according to topic, and loose postcards organized by topics consistent with the established organizational scheme. Postcards feature photographs, illustrations, and artwork reproductions of synagogues, religious rituals, biblical figures and scenes, historical scenes, Israel and Palestine, holiday greetings, prominent Jewish figures, Jewish ghettos and neighborhoods, cemeteries and tombs, and Jewish institutions. Postcard dates reflect a copyright date or, in cases where copyright is not available, a postmark date.
