See also EDHS_00133 POSTCARD 1905-1940s Like the carte-de-visite, postcards enjoyed a collecting craze by large numbers of people, and were often kept in albums through which the interested visitor could browse. Postcards were posted or exchanged in huge numbers. Postal authorities in Australia only allowed the private printing of postcards from 1898. At this time the back of the card was reserved for the address and postage stamp, and the front was used for the message and a picture. In 1902 British authorities allowed a "divided back", so that the left side could be used for the message, the right side for the address and stamp, and the whole of the front was devoted to the picture. France followed suit in 1904, Germany and Australia in 1905, and the United States in 1907. - Frost, Lenore; Dating Family Photos 1850-1920; Valiant Press Pty.

Road travelers relied on foldable paper maps to chart their journeys, especially when venturing beyond familiar territory. Maps helped identify highways, towns, and landmarks, enabling drivers to choose efficient or scenic routes. These maps were indispensable tools for travel, planning, and exploration. This map also identified the location of Vacuum Oil Company Dealerships throughout Victoria. These paper-based maps were used before Global Positioning System "GPS" revolutionized navigation. - Envelope - Pidd's Garage Melbourne Road Newport Local Dealer Olympic Tyres Vacuum Road Map of Victoria with Interstate Routes with the compliments of the Vacuum Oil Company Pty Ltd.
