I am of the belief that the Gibson postcard was made for Gibson PERSONALLY to use and hopefully to order MORE from the photographer. The only name to appear on the card is that of the photographer. The postcard is not an advertisement for anyone or anything except the photographer himself.
The Reccius Wagner card was NOT made for Wagner by any stretch of the imagination. Nor does it in any way publicize the photography studio who took the picture. The card clearly advertises for a product, and is clearly meant to be kept by the consumer and used to promote the product. It was NOT meant to be given away or mailed away again by the consumer.
Two totally different items.
