: "Robin's Airline Postcard Trade Page
'Twins'!
http://www.geocities.com/robinzammit


Here are some postcards that are slight or not-so-slight variations of each other. This list will only concentrate on editorial
changes (added text or airbrushing) or else the same shot (taken a split second later) or similar shots of the same subject.
All cards are airline issues unless indicated.
I would be glad to add any cards that you may have that are not in this list. Please email me with your scans robin@orbit.net.mt

: Some of the cards below may be available in my online Duplicate "

comment: I have checked out this site already - this is one of the best structured web sites on postcards on airline postcards - unrivalled on the web as yet this is a labour of love and Captain Zammit must be a perfect and absolutely reliable plain commander in the world. fine once again. He has introduced his own very exact classification of size and grade of the postcard. Superb - an example for collectors as to the system of the collection and creating simple and clear twin list - so crucial for trading postcards.

Technorati Profile

Welcome, Earthlings.

Welcome, Earthlings.: "Postcard Public was formed because I saw that extraordinary things were being done by ordinary people under the radar screens of the Louisville public, and felt that these things needed to be exposed and celebrated. My mission proved to be only partially valid: surely these things are worth celebrating, but only necessarily by the people who are doing them and the people who are affiliated
with them."

Comment - yet another site where you will find no postcard at all. I wonder how these indexing and search machiner work, when as I have been taking the tour aroung sites with postcards, I had to bump into so many sites registered under this keyword yet having nothing to do with postcards whatsoever. Sorry to give a negative assessment of the web today.

Beirut, a trip in time

Beirut, a trip in time: "BEIRUT : A TRIP INTO THE PAST




Welcome to my homepage, dedicated to the city of Beirut, my native hometown. This page will take you in a trip back in time, to the late 19th and early 20th century. In it you will see photo postcards depicting the city and its people. Each postcard is from my collection of Beirut postcards accumulated over the years. I have divided the city into different sections. Click on each picture below to go to the corresponding section each loaded with beautiful pictures. I have also included a map of Beirut published in 1912 to help guide you through the city. You can click on the map to view a larger version. Enjoy, and God bless this great and evolving city.

Comment: an outstanding site, with mint postcard and the historical map of Beirut - from 1912 - one of the best sites I have ever met on the web as yet, logically structured with perfect English, offering rarely concise and still comprehensive data on the city, life in it. This site epitomises quality postcard web resource. Thank you Joseph. Recommend *****

Intel Web Page Wizard

Intel Web Page WizardSome form of institution for the care of the sick has existed longer than recorded history.The history of postcards is not quite that old.The first postcards were introduced in the USA 1867. Many topics were printed.MY oldest postcard is one of "James Walker Memorial Hospital"in Wilmington,NC.It was mailed and postmarked 1905.It is no longer in existence.It was replaced by a multimillion dollar,7 story facility in 1967.This is where I work


My collection of cards dates from 1905 to present.They are of hospitals clinics,nursing homes,rest homes,VA Hospitals


I was so thrilled to see hospital postcards and a could not see none - these sites promissing something and giving little or nothing are letting down every web enthusiast.
