The impressionists left their mark on the early photographers. The post cards that resulted not only served as a historical and cultural record of the era (sort of a 'GoogleEarth' of the times), the photographers sought to make their works artistic in their own right. And by using the scanning and digital photo editing of today, these images can be given new life.
