Three lovely old views of Split, Croatia. I saw that Lay Hoon posted a contemporary postcard of Split yesterday on the Travel Postcard blog. It's interesting to look at that aerial view and be able to recognize these places.
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!
You are right--these are fascinating! Thank you so much for sharing them with us!
ReplyDeleteA fountain with the name "Franz Joseph" (Emperor of Austria from 1848 up to 1916) reveals to us that the card was issued before the First World War. Please, note also the writings in Italian ("Spalato - etc."). In Split there was since several centuries a big part of Italian population. They were killed and/or sent away in 1945 by Yugoslavia of Tito.
