This collection contains postcards and a souvenir book from Paris, France. There are series of postcards from the United States, Mexico, and Japan with as-needed sub-series describing the specific geographic location the postcard depicts. The postcards from the United States and Mexico date from approximately 1930 to 1950. This approximation is based on their material qualities, publishing information, format, and the few post-dated postcards available. The time frame of the postcards from Japan are unknown but suspected to be from around the same time as it is assumed they arrived in an envelope (included in the collection) post-dated 1954. The souvenir book titled “Souvenir de Paris” is located in the back of box 1 of Hankla Collection. It contains 12 leporello black and white photographs of landmarks in Paris, France cabinet cards. Based on research, it is meant to have 20 photographs and should be in leporello format. This book is from the publisher Rommler & Jonas in Dresden (founded in 1871), Germany and from approximately 1870 to 1900, as suggested by the format of the photographs (cabinet-cards) and rounded corners of each card.
