Did something similar with postcards after inheriting some from the late 19th century, but expanded beyond the family. There is a very interesting evolution in printing technologies including inks, printing processes, and paper stock that parallels that of the imaging techniques. In many cases, the clarity obtained with turn of the 20th century techniques, particularly in countries like Germany and Japan, clearly outdo popular modern systems. Good museums for this sort of thing include the Národní technické muzeum (National Technical Museum) in Prague, Czech Republic and the Musée de l'Imprimerie et de la Communication Graphique (Museum of Printing and Graphic Communication) in Lyon, France. https://plasy.ntm.cz/en/exhibitions/permanent-exhibitions/printing https://plasy.ntm.cz/en/exhibitions/permanent-exhibitions/pr... https://www.imprimerie.lyon.fr/en/edito/museum-english-speaking-visitors https://www.imprimerie.lyon.fr/en/edito/museum-english-speak...
