=====Description Information=====
Postcard title: Federal Building, Concord, New Hampshire-Back.

Publisher: Eastern Illustration Co. One of the best known publishers of real photo postcards depicting scenes of New England and New York. Founded by photographer R. Herman Cassens in 1909, he and his staff produce over 30,000 real photo cards printed in small lots to the thousands. They captured a niche market by publishing views outside of just one local area, and by providing photo cards to retailers in small communities who could not afford the price of printed cards. In 1947 the business was sold to Alton H. Crone. He stopped producing real photo postcards in the 1950’s and began printing photochromes. By the 1960’s they had sold off all remaining stock of real photo cards, and moved to New London, NH. Because they published many generics and small town scenes that changed very slowly, they kept printing cards from the same negatives over many decades. Differing logos and papers however give some clues in providing dates. Their first distinguished logo was very large and appeared on cards published between 1913 to 1915. Similar but much smaller variations continued to be placed onto their cards into the late 1930’s until they just started printing out their name. By the 1940’s they began using Kodak paper without the company name.

Date published: 1969.
