Location State Postcards
A little piece of America you can keep forever, location state postcards refer to any of the tourist-oriented postcards that advertise a particular state - or as often the case, city within state.
State postcards take you back to what was a great vacation, or let a friend get a glimpse into what you're experiencing, all with just a single picture.
Remember, if you end up in a new city, exploring a country you've never seen before, or find yourself in a strange part of the world...
Then make sure to send everyone a postcard telling them what a fantastic journey you're on!
Here are some of the most-visited destinations and what kind of postcard you can expect...
Test Drive These Location State Postcards!
Hawaii Postcard. How could anyone not conjure up the image of pretty young girls in leis upon the mere mention of this state?
Denizens aside, Hawaii has many other aesthetically pleasing sights that make it on the front of postcards, such as Waimea Canyon on the Island of Kauai, The Seven Sacred Pools in Maui, or any of the lavish hotels on the famous Waikiki Beach. Aloha from Hawaii!
A beautiful 'California postcard' view
California Postcards. A place where the sun never rests, those city views under perfect blue skies are not exaggerations.
Scenes of their many beaches and thriving metropolises like San Diego and Los Angeles all framed under California's enviable weather are plentiful.
San Francisco has its own distinct style with their signature trolleys and townhouses.
Florida Postcards. A life isn't quite complete without a visit to this state.
You might have been taken there as a kid to Disneyland and Universal Studios, partied during spring break as a teen in Daytona Beach or Fort Lauderdale, and visited there again as an adult to find love in Miami or to take in the old world charms of St. Augustine.
Georgia Postcards. If the famous Georgia peach doesn't tickle your fancy, look for skylines of the city of Atlanta, or the lush green views of their many national parks.
A San Francisco postcard
Didn't get a chance to pick up your Disneyland postcard in Florida? Get one here, along with a more unique postcard with iconic landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge and the little wonder known as Hollywood.
Illinois Postcards. This unassuming state not only boasts the city of Chicago and all the sights contained within it (The Sears Tower, Navy Pier, and Millennium Park, just to name a few), but also the original starting point of the historic highway system, Route 66.
Las Vegas Postcards. Quite possibly the only American city whose postcards have more than a passing chance of containing some nudity. Trying to find postcards that don't boast Las Vegas' excess - showgirls, the blinding neon lights of Fremont Street, or any of the hotels on the famed strip, each of them more extravagant than the last - will be a difficult feat.
When all else fails, their straightforward 'Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada' sign will get the job done all the same.
Montana Postcards. With all the open space this fair land has to offer, it's no wonder that cowboys are frequently featured on their postcards!
Nicknamed 'Land of Shining Mountains,' millions of tourists take away memorabilia from top attractions like Glacier National Park, the Battle of Little Bighorn site, and most of all, Yellowstone National Park.
A location state postcard - Eiffel!
Louisiana Postcard. New Orleans is without a doubt the focus of the bayou state.
After succumbing to their notorious nightlife and celebrations, save the evidence with a postcard of Bourbon Street or the French Quarter, and don't forget the liveliness of Mardi Gras or their Jazz Festival!
Paris Postcard. Okay, so it's not in America, but when a city is this magical, who cares?
A Parisian postcard isn't a postcard without the city's definitive symbol, the Eiffel Tower.
The picturesque sights could fill a book, but notable landmarks you can expect to see are the Notre Dame cathedral, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Louvre.
French postcards, Le Eiffel tower
Whether you're an avid or armchair traveller, the location state postcard is a way in which to reminisce, or live vicariously.
When the time comes for your next vacation, remember to pick up one. Maybe one day, you can collect all fifty!
