Moonlight postcards have a magic appeal for everyone. In the Golden Age of the postcard they were a mark of any right-thinking town, to show off their modern way of life and their up-to-date streets.
“Well, all I know is what I read in the papers,” said Will Rogers. If you agree with Mr. Rogers and apply it to the reports of the fire that destroyed much of the Belgian Exposition of 1910, you would be more “confused” than “educated.” Thanks to postcards that show the ruins those who collect such cards were better informed than most reporters.
