Isn't this a handy reminder! You could even draw the hands on the clock to help you remember.
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!
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.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous lettering on the verso, too! I've linked to this post for the Ephemera Society of America's Facebook and Twitter followers.

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...
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.
