This series of postcards features photographs by Alice & John Penrod and was produced by Dexter Press in West Nyack, New York, maybe in the mid 1960s. The featured typefaces are mostly Ludlow originals, most of which were designed by Robert Hunter Middleton. “Greetings from” is always set in his Mandate (1934).
