Evan & Juniper
Hi, I’m Evan, a postcard collector, and dealer, with a lifelong passion for old things. Juniper is my daughter, occasional sorting assistant, and a reliable reminder that not every postcard needs a long-winded explanation.
Northwest Postcards grew from years of collecting old photographs, regional views, and pieces of everyday history. I’m especially passionate about real photo postcards, early photographers, and vanished businesses of the Pacific Northwest.
Here you’ll find articles about postcard history, cards for sale, and information for anyone looking to sell a collection. The aim is simple: good research, honest descriptions, and old paper treated with the attention it deserves.
