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!
It's surprising to see all block printing instead of cursive writing on a long note from this era. His lettering, especially the D's and M's, and free-style capitalization, seem sort of eccentric.
ReplyDeleteTs and Ls are capitalized no matter where they are in the word. It is peculiar.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat postcard to own. I like how he marked where he was staying. I am glad the building is still standing.
ReplyDeleteThat is afine building and I love reading these old cards it's like the person is alive. I wonder why they travelled so much?
ReplyDeleteGreat card, loved the message, lots going on. Sort of putting the pressure on poor Albert to respond though- since he wrote it on 5/17/37, which was a Thursday, and it is post marked the 19th, chances of getting something back by Saturday are pretty slim.... Perhaps he meant NEXT Sat!
ReplyDeleteI adore buildings with the rounded corners and the turret at the top has so much style.
