W. F. Gerecke, Miami, Florida, U.S. | W. F. Gerecke was a Miami photographer who, like C.H. Price of England, was in the right place at the right time to take photographs and make Real Photo postcards of the airport near where he lived. He was the most prolific photographer at the Pan American Airways sea base in Miami during the 1930's. His cards are high quality and most are not that expensive. His earliest postcards have hand written captions on the front of the card. There are some scarce to rare ones in that group. They generally have high image numbers printed with the captions. Soon he switched to a more formal block letter text system for the captions using lower numbers with the images. Some images are available in both types. There are some instances where the hand written text and the block text versions have the same number. There were two different Real Photo card stocks used for the Gerecke postcards. Most common are the cards with the DOPS stamp box on the back of the cards. Some cards also come with an EKC stamp box on the back of the cards. They are probably a second print run for that particular card. This album only shows the Real Photo postcards by Gerecke. There are some Linen and Black and White Litho cards using Gerecke images also. They are shown in the Miami Airport and PAA Flying Boat albums. |
