Help With Postcards ... Again

[wolf63]

Does anybody know the name given to the postcards that depicted 'real' people in the street?

I think that the photographer took the picture of passing persons and turned it into a postcard for some financial reward.

There was the Frenchman Robert Doisneau, but some of his candid photos were actually stage-managed.

I imagine they'd fall into the category of Photographic cards Wolf

The ones I have are not as artistic looking as those.

I will have a look at all the info in you link. I dream postcards.

Thanks to both of you, the postcards are never going to make millions for Oxfam but every little helps.
