(v)oonspell Homepage

(v)oonspell Homepage this is a typical fake postcard site - I was not able to find a single postdard on it let alone useful original links - some text in Spanish and displayed sculls and I would waste time writing on.

Girl_in_the_Woods

Girl_in_the_Woods: "This postcard is one of my favorites. It shows a beautiful girl in the woods curiously looking at an owl. The pink detail given to the girl's dress adds a
sweet touch to the picture.

Bertha once again writes to her dear friend on August 30, 1908. "
This is a small but lovely postcard collection with Postcards showing people and places - all sent to one girl - Would a contemporary lover be able of that kind of unflagging affection and incessnat passion and refined wording of all this? Note the complimentary greeting Darling used in Mexiko, the American girls setting obviously the tone.
I would rate it excellent. a telling sample of time and feeling from the turn of the last century.

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.

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!!
see........... Twins

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.
