    Not all 'linens' look alike. Is there a publisher on the back?

    One of the major appeals for linen postcards is how they 'take' the ink. This adds a vibrancy to the already-stunning graphics and images. Curteich company was the best at rendering this classic look to their cards and most would consider them 'the best' as far as visual appeal goes.

    Kropp and Sanborn seem to have a smoother, more worn and sometimes 'glossier' finish but I still consider many of their cards "linens". It certainly seems like you know what you're talking about here so using the word 'linen' in your description is OK. Potential buyers should be able to tell what they're looking at from the image you provide and can always ask a question if they're unsure.

    Well, there should be some texture, some 'feel', to the little pattern as well as the look.
