Rae's Trivia......

Postcards are a way to send message-bearing cards
through the mail without an envelope.
The earliest known picture postcard was sent in London
to the writer Theodore Hook in 1840.
Hook most likely created the hand-painted card and
sent it to himself as a practical joke on the postal
service, since the image on the card is a caricature of
post office workers.
