| abstract | - The pre-song postcards were introduced at the Eurovision Song Contest 1970 in Amsterdam to introduce each participating country and artist. They were introduced to "waste time" during the contest due to the low number of entrants. The postcards showcased different aspects over the years: many featured scenes of local life or different points of interest around the host country, others featured the artists in various scenarios. Some even had a humorous tone at each country's expense as shown in the 1979 and 1984 postcards. The 1978 contest did not have the inter-song postcards (various shots of the artists backstage were used to introduce the performances), and in the 1980 contest, each country was introduced by a representative speaking in their native language. The 1991 contest featured each artist singing a portion of a well-known Italian song before their performance.
