What is a "postcard"?
A postcard is a rectangular piece of thick paper or cardboard that is typically used to send short messages or greetings. It has space for a message on one side and an image or design on the other. Postcards are usually mailed without an envelope, with the recipient's address written on one side, and a stamp placed in the top corner. They are commonly used for sending souvenirs from travel destinations, holiday greetings, or simple messages. The design on the front can vary widely, often reflecting a landmark, scenery, or artwork.
