Notes

Stanley A. Piltz [November 24, 1887 – January 16, 1973] was an American photographer and publisher of Mid-Century Modern graphic design and printed ephemera.

Stanley A. Piltz Company, San Francisco, specialized in Linen Type postcards from the 1930s to the 1950s, depicting scenes of California, especially the San Francisco Bay Area. The postcards consisted of scenic views, city, town, civil and military infrastructures, and national monuments. Linen Type postcards were produced on paper with a high rag content which gave the postcard a fabric-type look and feel. Linen-type cards allowed for vibrant ink colors and Stanley Piltz pioneered this advanced printing technique with his "Pictorial Wonderland Art Tone Series" in 1945.
