Pretty Halloween Postcard
Look at that beautiful Jasmie Becket-Griffith card.
Love in a Sausage
One of the great unexplained mysteries of 1909. Why are two Dutch kids in this Valentine’s card with a Love in a Sausage line?
Victorian Cat
Got this one as a gift from a set of postcards I bought from Poland. The art is exquisite.
Big Eyes and Butterflies
These beautiful outgoing cards are by Camilla d’Errico. I’m obsessed with big-eye art these days. More to come.
Passive-Aggressive Postcards: Friends in Low Places
August 31, 1912 Mont Blanc To: An Entire City Block From: Jane and Fred Entering the Champs [illegible]. Views beautiful. High spirits. Low cash.
Postcard Photography
I’ve tried holding cars outside by hand. I’ve tried photographing on a white sheet of paper. I’ve tried gray backgrounds. Wood backgrounds. But I think this flat back works best. What do you think?
Passive-Aggressive Postcards: Homely
August 23, 1908 Woodland, Pennsylvania To: Margery From: Ira Hello Margery: Hope you will know these homely kids. I haven’t any thing better to send. Please accept it with my love. Ira.
