The Lloyd Italiano Line was formed in 1904 to provide passenger service between Italy and North and South America.
I can't read Italian, but it looks like Alfonsina has just received a card from Carmelina Piccolo and was surprised that Carmelina had not received the long letter she had sent her...and then something about a ticket.
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!
Das war ein Jahr bevor die Titanic sank.
ReplyDeleteDieses Schiff sieht nicht halb so prächtig aus, aber wir dürfen hoffen, dass Alfonsia sicher ans Ziel kam.
