I'd like to know too. It evokes a strange sense of nostalgia.

That's why it's strange. I never experienced it.

Postcard aesthetic isn't good enough?

I think it is an earlier process from 1880 called photochrom invented by Hans Jacob Schmid and close to lithography. It is an hand-coloring process. Autochrome came later and are closer to photography with additive color on a mosaic screen plate.

looks like a b&w grainy picture thats been colorized with watercolor. supposed to be dreamy/romanticized

It looks like a hand coloured photo to me, which were apparently popular in Japan for a while
