The top postcard may be more colorful, but I love the human element in the second one. These are circa 1910.
About Me
- Christine H.
- I love antique postcards because they preserve evidence of everyday life as well as celebrations and sad events. Looking at an old postcard is like holding a single piece of a puzzle; we have to imagine the rest. I will try to put up a postcard every day. If you have a special request for a particular city or place, let me know!
Hi Christine,
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by. You are most welcome anytime. Nice is one of my favorite places and your postcards are lovely.
Wouldn't it have been amazing to walk the Promenade back them?
hugs,
Barb
That must be the Hotel Negresco in the backround of the top card. The statue is still there, but the Palais de la Jetee sure isn't. It seems to have been a popular subject for postcards, though. I wonder what was in it.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, it is the Hotel Negresco. As for the Palais de la Jetee, I always assumed it was a casino. What do you think?
