These are perhaps the first old patriotic postcards I've seen! I'm not a collector, per se, but I do spend time looking at them when I get a chance, so it's a surprise I've never seen any before.
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!
Great cards -- Happy Independence Day to Baby! And you too......
ReplyDeleteI like your patriotic women. That's something I have thought about collecting, though I collect too many topics already.
ReplyDeleteI like the fashion-plate drummer girl, interesting to see women on both of these cards, versus macho men.
