This postcard is part of our exclusive series created from punch card documents uncovered in the dusty vaults of the U.S. National Archives (NARA). Once used to power early computers and recordkeeping systems, these fragile cards sat untouched for decades — until now.
We've digitally restored and preserved these relics of bureaucratic history, transforming them into collectible postcards that celebrate a lost analog world. Printed on heavyweight 300g glossy stock, each card is a slice of mid-century government tech — delivered to your door.
Each card features our signature NARA design. The full story behind the original image is included in this listing.
This postcard depicts a scene of bomb damage to Nazi vehicles south of Rome, Italy. The image shows a Steyer RSO/01 all-track supply truck in the foreground, partially in a bomb crater. The photograph was taken by the U.S. Air Force and is related to their operations in the Mediterranean Theatre during World War II. The original negative and print were received on November 15, 1945, by the Mediterranean Theatre of Operations, Photo Section, APO #650. The image provides a historical snapshot of the war's impact on enemy equipment and infrastructure.
