Wish You Were Here: Selections From the Mike Van Ark Postcard Collection July 13, 2012

American postcards were created as an easier way to send quick notes and were printed only by the U.S. Postal Service, until May, 1898. Postcards are now one of the most collected items, along with coins and postage stamps. Mike Van Ark's collection, featured in this exhibition, begins in the year 1900 and includes images of the city of Holland, around the north and south side of Lake Macatawa (Black Lake), and the Lakeshore.
