The Images of Asia stock image website combines two of my favorite things: vintage postcards and historic China. These evocative postcards, some with their original stamps, are organized by cities and by studios.  The collection also includes rare handmade illustrated postcards and ones that were created by Chinese-American studios.  As the name of the website indicates, there are also postcards from all around Asia.
