Here's a beautiful card that was postmarked exactly 100 years ago.
One of the things I like best about this card is that it was addressed to Master Erick Brasie, in care of his father, the Postmaster, at Brasie Corners, New York.
Amazingly vibrant colours for its age. They look very cherubic angels and like birds can sit on a fir branch. Beautiful card. Wishing you a Happy Christmas
Chrisine, I forgive you for making me turn my body upside down to read this:) Was trying to see if there was an inside joke or something I was missing as to the "Master" part:)
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!
absolutely gorgeous! happy holidays!

ReplyDeleteWow, technicolor angels! They definitely zip up what could be a gray day in the snowy town below.
