No info on the card, this is just my psychic sense at work. Say, isn't that some type of fraternal pin on his coat?visitors can't see pics , please register or login

A real-photo postcard of a man...
Rik what do you mean by real-photo postcard - aren't most of them real photos? Made for a one-time use, as opposed to mass produced? How did the average person go about making a post card from a photo?
Photo studios used to make a cheap print on a card printed as a post card. Those may still be available - I know Ilford (UK) sold them a few years ago.
Yes, like juan says, photographers as far back as 1902 were able to take photographs and make postcards out of them. I'm guessing that they made multiple prints. Like anything, there were probably amateur photographers who. if they had the proper equipment, were able to make their own photos into postcards. Nowadays, with digital photography, it is rather simple to have pictures made into postcards. I've got a relative who sends me a photo-postcard of him and his family every Christmas. Here is a nice link that explains the history of real-photo postcards: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/postcards/real-photoPS, back when I was collecting stereoviews, I used to buy real-photo stereoviews that were again, made out of peoples photographs.
The fourth paragraph needs a question mark. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a photo of Nixon looking so happy. Maybe,instead of politics, he should have had a career as a lounge piano player.
Wow, buffet at midnight.
