Happy PFF to you and Walter :)
Love your postcard for today .
Thank you for sharing both the front and back
of this really cool postcard !
I just adore the graphics on
the old linen cards .
It must have been so amazing to have lived and visited New York during this time in history.
That is one of the many awesome things about vintage postcards we get a view of history from someone who was there !
Have a marvelous rest of the weekend .
Until next time
Happy Trails
Great linen card and it's so much fun to read the messages and wonder about relationships! Happy PFF!
That's a nice view of the fair. I collect exposition postcards, mainly those from the Century of Progress in Chicago.
Cool card!
"Quite a bit of (wearie/weary/wary ?) sentiment?
We should brainstorm to solve this graphologic mystery1 :)
A great map-like card. Like Dorin, I'd guess the second word is sentiment but the other remains a mystery.
People should know that we post their 60 to 100 year old cards every Friday and make more of an effort with their handwriting. I'll have to work on that "weenie sediment" or whatever he said and see if I can figure it out.
