Perhaps people will do the same thing with blog comments in years to come: the post is the picture side of the card, the comments are the message side.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-87674582981752778802012-03-12T19:24:48.472-07:002012-03-12T19:24:48.472-07:00That is sad if the sisters couldn't see each o...That is sad if the sisters couldn't see each other again and were close. I imagine that their letters to one another were personal and detailed accounts of their lives apart.

Although it does go nicely with the contours of her hat and the round window.<br />When we moved from Chicago to San Diego in 1950 there were some relatives we never saw again. Even at that time it was difficult to make a trip half way across the country.<br />BarbaraNorth County Film Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13683794164957833415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-12608075429558457602012-03-12T10:06:09.492-07:002012-03-12T10:06:09.492-07:00The framing of the image on the first car looks li...The framing of the image on the first car looks like it is breathing out in the middle to compensate for the cinched waist... You would think the textured cards would be damaged in the mail between IL and OR, but this one looks perfect- since there is no stamp or postmark I would assume it was likely in an envelope or package, although that makes it a bit odd to still put an address on the card. And I would guess that at the beginning of the 20th century it would be fairly typical for people to think they would never see friends/family again if they moved 2000 miles away, as the majority of folks probably never strayed more than 100 miles from their home for their entire lives, and long distance travel was expensive and arduous.Archie Techthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08030376486096194337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-30237307921919761592012-03-12T07:09:43.774-07:002012-03-12T07:09:43.774-07:00I especially enjoyed Bertha's note.

Very rich postcards, and the first one quite a different style. All very nice.21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.com
