Postcards have been popular with travelers and collectors since the late nineteenth century. This popularity made postcards an ideal medium for promotion, whether it be a town selling itself as a destination for tourists, or a manufacturer advertising new products. Among the postcards in The Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum collection are many that drew on the allure of the Arctic and northern exploration to appeal to consumers.

The generosity of the Friends of ��ϳԹ��վ College has made this exhibition possible.
