**The Birth of the Postcard**
The history of the postcard dates back to the year 1869 when the very first postcard was sent in Austria on the first of october. This innovative "Correspondenz-Karte" featured a blue, pre-stamped postage on the front and ample space on the back for a brief message. It was designed by Emanuel Herrmann, an Austrian postal clerk. The introduction of the postcard revolutionized written communication by providing a cost-effective way to send messages and convey greetings.
