Gorgeous lettering on the verso, too! I've linked to this post for the Ephemera Society of America's Facebook and Twitter followers. http://www.facebook.com/EphemeraSociety http://twitter.com/EphemeraSociety
Congratulations, Christine, on being recognized by the Ephemera Society! And yes, this card makes me green with envy. I'd want a couple of little movable tin clock hands for a 3-D effect. And love that Art Nouveau "C" design on the back:) OH...the train stories I could tell you -- took Amtrack from Seattle to New Orleans many moons ago...
A heartfelt thanks and farewell to my readers. My last post (the thousand and first!) will be on November 7, 2012. The blog will remain online, but there won't be any new posts as I need to make time for other things. There is a chance I'll be back, but if so it won't be for awhile. I hope you'll take the time to peruse the archives.
How To Find Things
There's treasure in the archives, so here's how to browse and find what you want:
1. Enter a search word or phrase in the box below - anything from Princess Grace to Prohibition or Graf Zeppelin.
2. Or, go down to the bottom of the page and browse the "Cloud of Tags". The number next to the tag indicates how many posts have that tag. Clicking on it will bring up all of them. (I realize now that it doesn't always bring up all of them. If there are a lot, then it will only bring up the most recent ones, but if you click on older posts at the bottom then it will bring up more.)
3. You can also go through the archives by date. Just click on the triangle next to the year or month to open the list.
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!
Wow what a great card from the age of leisurely travel. I'd love to ride on that train, and possibly fill the clock time in:-).
ReplyDeleteThis sepia-toned card is beautiful. Love the way the clock, smoke and steam pop out of the picture. And the city fading behind it...beautiful.

ReplyDeleteThanks Lauren!
ReplyDeleteTrishia,
I'd love to hear those train stories.
That's so fun! I want one for my next plane trip!
ReplyDeleteThis is a clever little card indeed and the attention to detail is very touching.
