It is a postcard. It is its own source. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 09:52, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It has a backside, a date, a publisher, a creator, maybe a reference number from a series, maybe it was published before as a drawing or photo... Non of this source information is given here. --Martin H. (talk) 10:05, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, why not ask the uploader clearly what it is that you want to know? Instead of non-informative tag that just discourages contributors. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 10:10, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If you see your own name in the author field and a source saying "own work" - well, you should note yourself that something isnt correct with that information. --Martin H. (talk) 10:13, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
How are newbies supposed to know when Commons admins want them to use {{Own}}? Probably uploader owns a copy of this postcard. Or he made this file himself from a postcard that he borrowed. Please go bother this admin about things like that, who claims {{Own}} and copyright for photos of old paintings. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 10:57, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
