chile postcards

chile postcards a small but lovely selection of postcards, the site is more or less of personal kind, showing photos of the webmaster in different periods of his life, beginning with his childhood. This is always telling site but strictly speaking, this is not a site dedicated to the postcard theme. It was enjoyable to visit it, however.

Robin's aircraft airline postcard trade page

Robin's aircraft airline postcard trade page: "My collection follows the history of the world's airlines, along the years. Many still exist, others are now defunct or have merged and been re-named.



In 1973, Air Malta Co Ltd (plc), the company we know today was founded. Its history can be read here
Malta's only airline, Air Malta has a rich and colourful history.
I also have lists of Safety Cards, as well as Lapel Badges and also Burf Bags, Inflight magazines and Airline Stickers which I can exchange for Airline Postcards. Click on the respective links to see my lists

NEW! Ever found a 'new' card by chance in your doubles box, with a slight but distinct difference from the one in your collection? Along the years, I have come across many, so I thought of hosting an online reference page, pointing out some examples. Hope it helps you find some new cards......in your own box!!

This is certainly a top aviation postcard site and is run by a captain of Maltese Air Lines - the quality of the scans is good, but for a stranger in this field the outstanding quality of the collection may not be so obvious, at first sight.
Congratulation, Captain zammit and keep on your excellent work and take care and be as much as healthy as this job is very damanding and responsible.

The catchers in the Rye

The catchers in the Rye: "The catchers in the Rye
GA RETT TIL ARETS TUR HER" This is yet another site boasting with postcards on it but I found to my dismay none at all.
why is this indexed as poscards, when I could see nothing but digital photos of a party catching something - cannot be recognized nor is written anywhere on this site. Postcard are simply not digital photos. Postcards are sent by normal post.

postcard

postcard: "I began collecting postcards when I was in the 1st grade. My family lived in Germany and while we traveled around Western Europe I needed something inexpensive to collect. Thus the beginings of my collection.

Over the years I continued to pick up postcards on my travels. In 2000 (about 15 years after my collection started), I discovered online postcard trading. This allowed me to meet people around the world as well as increase my postcard

collection. I've never counted how many cards I have, but I would estimate that I have at least 2500 cards."


I tried my best to investigate the riches of the collection but found regrettably only a few tens - and all are very original unusual and am sorry that the exposition does not show more of them.

Affective Friends

Affective Friends I expected to find postcards and found none - the webmaster has surprised me. she is perhaps an autstanding collector because this hobby is sometimes helpful in affective disorders. Her descendant might come from Bohemia or the Czech R where I live as the name Novick - one of possibel transcriptions of NOVAK with long a, which is read short and almost as i in English. this may be friendly web meeting with her and I am going to leave an email for her.
But all the same, I expected the postcards and have found none.

Prague and Lithography, senefelder On-line gallery, postcards with old stamps, culture, collecting postcards

Prague and Lithography, senefelder On-line gallery, postcards with old stamps, culture, collecting postcards: "He established this site to honour the inventor of lithography, off-set nowadays, Aloys Senefelder, who was born in Prague in 1771"
This is written on the site on Prague postcards and is true, to amdend a bit, his father was an actor and the family a rather large one was staying in Prague in the 1771 because his father was performing here in the Stavovske divadlo in English perhaps The Higher Estates Theater placed conveniently in the same street where the Senefelder's lived - in Rytirska ulice - Knight Street. And he was baptized with Vltavas water as me but a bit later and given the following names:_ Alois, Franz, Jonann-Nepomuck the latter one is to honour the Czech Martyr who was tortured and his body thrown in the river Moldau, Vltava king's personal confessor. And that was on 6 November 1771. a few historic facts in addition to the homepage.
