I can’t make out the date on this postmark but I would guess that the card dates from the early 1900’s.

A postcard from the Cote D’Azur
posted to a resident of Belmont Park, Donnybrook, Dublin, Ireland. I suspect I found this at one of the Dublin City Bookfairs. I was probably attracted to the Belmont Park address – a flashback to my hometown address of Belmont Massachusetts. The world shrinks sometimes.
Lover’s Tiff?
Vintage postcard – note the title – Their First Quarrel
Vintage Postcard
Champion Bull Dog
When I first saw this postcard I thought the dog was rather ugly. But with time I’ve mellowed and I’ve become rather fond of this vintage card postmarked 1911, Binghamton New York.
Fishing Nets
Postcard image – Indian fisherman at La Push Washington. Nets are inspected and repaired on the beach preparatory for another trip to the fishing banks off-shore in the Pacific Ocean.
Ever Popular Pansies
Birthday Greetings – a postcard from 1911 posted from a small town on the Spokane River in Western Washington state
Industrial Wasteland?
No, I don’t see this as a wasteland. I like the image. Soft coloring – simple, plain maybe but not stark. It’s a postcard depicting Richland Washington, no date. But it’s actually part of the Hanford site where plutonium was produced for use in the atomic bomb. So in a way it has sinister overtones given the terrible destruction caused by atomic weapons. We live in the nuclear age, alas.
