Neither of these cards was sent. The backs both look like this.
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!
Thanks for such a day brightener! People and their amazing love for well....good things to eat! Have a happy day! Karen
ReplyDeleteI wonder why not all watermelons are round? Do the postcards give any hints? Or does the European market only like the round ones?
ReplyDeleteLisa, I think, though I'm not sure, that watermelons are naturally oblong, but were bred to be round and seedless for modern tastes. And then of course there's the Japanese square watermelon.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that naval orange postcard before....sweet! (pun intended)
ReplyDeleteI love the giant fruit postcards -- so charming!
ReplyDeleteOh, these are wonderful, Christine! I think I even have the one with the oranges somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI think all these giant fruits have been handled by the Southern Pacific flat cars. They must have been the robber barons of giant fruit or there were some stock imagery sites back at the turn of the 20th Century!
ReplyDeletefun stuff
ReplyDeleteAwesome postcards! You're developing quite the collection of exaggerated postcards!
