Printing Process
Collotype was used to produce more black & white postcards than any other technique.
A collotype is comprised of an ink image on paper support. The image is produced on a printing press from a glass plate with a layer of light-sensitive dichromatic gelatin. A negative is exposed on the plate, and areas of the gelatin layer that received more light are "tanned" and harden, allowing them to hold more ink than untanned areas. Surface finishes are typically matte (unvarnished). Collotype was used to produce more black & white postcards than any other technique.
Surface finishes vary from matte to glossy, but they are typically matte (unvarnished).

Lucien Roisin
(Paris, 1884 - Barcelona, 1943)
Lucien Roisin was a French photographer and publisher, established in Barcelona and known for the large number of postcards he produced or marketed from many places in Spain during the first half of the 20th century.
Conservation of his work.
Because of the great production of Roisin, his works can be found in various archives, such as the National Archive of Catalonia, although most of it is kept in the Historical Photo Archive of the Institute of Photographic Studies of Catalonia, with a collection that it exceeds 77,000 images, of which 44,100 are postcards and 33,100 negatives. The great popularity of the postcards published by Roisin has favored that these can easily be found in collector circles.
POSTCARD ERA
Early Divided Back Era (1907-1914)
Postcards with a divided back were permitted in the U.S. beginning on March 1, 1907.
(Britain had already pioneered this in 1902.)
The address was to be written on the right side; the left side was for writing messages.
Many millions of cards were published in this era -- it was the golden age of postcards.
Up to this point, most postcards were printed in Germany, which was far ahead of the United States in the use of lithographic processes.
With the advent of World War I, the supply of postcards for American consumption switched from Germany to England and the United States itself.
