 Esther Allen Howland used what she knew of her family's stationery business to build a successful business creating hand-made valentines that sold for as much as $5 to $10 each, in 1847. |
 Exaggerated Postcards were extremely popular in the early 1900s. They were known for using trick photography to create such images as a farmer riding a grasshopper, and produce so big that it dwarfed houses. |
