Why not ask someone who has incorporated old post cards into a new work what procedures they used to ensure that they did not fall afoul of copyright law. I can think of at least one such book "Dimpled Lunatics" which uses turn of the century postcards depicting infants. (I don't know who the publishers are but I can easily send you that information).
I have, in the past, called authors and film producers who have incorporated copyrighted material into their works to find out how they went about it. They have always been willing to oblige me; and while one shouldn't take their advice as gospel truth, it will, at least, provide some guidance.
