    Solution

    Old postcards, books, signs, photos and other paper products made before the late 1930s rarely glow under a black light. Chemical bleaches and dyes used in modern papers will fluoresce under ultraviolet light. Knowing this helps to detect forged documents and distinguish reproductions in all types of ephemera.
