Many photo postcards were casual images of the sender or loved ones which were quickly taken and then transformed into postcards. Some people sought out a professional studio photographer to capture a high quality image. The photo postcards on this page are thought to be images of people who lived in Cramahe in the early 1900s. Unfortunately, the postcards contained little information about the identities of the people. A great number of postcards were never sent, but kept as personal remembrances of loved ones, time, and place.
