Berta Benz in Pforzheim

A beautiful re-creation of the historic moment when Berta Benz (wife of Karl Benz) telegraphed home to Mannheim of her safe arrival in Pforzheim, thereby completing the first long-distance automobile journey (194km) and a public relations triumph for Benz automobiles. Thank you Sabine for this thoughtful card which enlightened and delighted me.

Celebrations, Pyongyang, North Korea.

You don't get many of these. From my adventurous travel pal, Kris. Pyongyang. If they knew she was a journalist, she'd be thrown out. Unfortunately one stamp was torn off. Cheap North Korean glue, no doubt. (Same stuff holding the country together)

Rackcards: Hawaii Five-O

Rackcards or freecards. You either love 'em or hate 'em. I have a foot in both camps. But stuff like this is hard not to like. From www.avantcard.com.au

Bilamuk Gapal, Larrakia man, Palmerston NT 1891

Some years back, a cache of old photographic plates was discovered near Darwin in Australia's Northern Territory. The haul revealed (among other things) a wealth of brilliant portraits of Aboriginal people in their traditional attire and adornment. This card was produced by the South Australian Museum to coincide with an exhibition and is my clear favourite from the collection. Another reason to love museum issue postcards.

Tonga: Fondly known as King George, His Majesty passed away in March this year. An eccentric chap with a love of things British, King George was known to get about town in a London cab. From my friend Kris.
