Vintage Postcards

Vintage Postcard, Picadilly Circus, London (circa 1950's)

(Reverse of above)
Dear Mabel... in Northern Rhodesia.
Notice the social artifact in how Mabel Pringle is addressed as Mrs C. Pringle, likely the initial and surname of her husband.





Vintage Postcard, Montesilvano, Pescara (Italia)

I enjoy the punchy colour in these vintage postcards. More to come.
