Pablo Sittler / Foto Europa

PABLO SITTLER


The photographs for postcards credited to Pablo Sittler were taken in both black and white (called real photo postcards, or RPPCs) and color film (called chromes) in the 1960s and 70s.  Bearing Sittler's own imprint or that of Foto Europa, some of the RPPCs have deckle, or uneven, raggedy edges, and their numbering system runs to at least 118 images.  Other real photos have straight edges, white borders, and titles but no numbers. Many titles for the RPPCs and chromes are printed in dual translation.
