Vintage Airline Issue

One of my pet subjects for postcards is vintage and contemporary airline issue postcards. Increasingly rare these days as airlines cut back on everything not core to flying planes and maximising revenue. Enjoy these anachronistic artforms. I will add to this post occasionally, so call back to see what else I've found.

19 May 1996: Arrived here just before sunset and scampered down to the dunes to see what we could of the old telegraph station and jetty.

Vintage South Pacific Postcards

 Spending time indoors during COVID has given me the chance to rediscover the many hundred of postcards my family have accumulated over the decades.

This small set of vintage cards were bought during our cruise aboard P&O's Himalaya in early 1972 to Noumea, Fiji and Auckland. My first cruise and the only time I travelled overseas with my father. It's fun to look back on these times. 

Postcards in the time of #COVID19

In these depressing times of Coronvirus isolation, the art of postcard writing comes to the fore. My creative friends have found non-destination and inspirational cards that are perfect for these times.
Thank you to my thoughtful pals and colleagues for sending these smile (and giggle) inducing missives.

Tiana reminded me of my woeful love life :)

and this beautiful art card from Lee. Few know of my love for birds.

Armenia: It's taken me a long time to get a card from this reclusive former-Soviet nation state with a most interesting history. Thank you Kerry van der Jagt
