Real Photo Postcards

Some of the photographic businesses in Rhodesia allowed their customers to have their personal photos printed as Real Photo Postcards (RPC). Others, like Kodak, supplied cameras to the public that allowed them to develop their own postcards.

Although it is difficult to attribute the production to specific photographic developers, some clues have allowed us to make a reasonable deduction. Many remain unknown.
