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: "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.

Good by for now from Prague

Prague and Lithography, senefelder On-line gallery, postcards with old stamps, culture, collecting postcards the world of Postcards seem to be gradually caching on - the trafffic is slowly growing - and I keep on exploring the riches of sites on postcards worldwide - or rather webwide from my bedside PC regrettably driven by whimsical windows 98- I seem to by able to put some money aside and upgrade my web equipment.

Horse Postcard trading page

Horse Postcard trading page: "I collect horse postcards and currently I have over 28,000 different horse postcards. I have been collecting for over 40 years and in the past few years I have discovered many new trading friends via the internet."

Incredible almost 30 thousand of postcard in one collection - this must be tons of paper and I wonder how this collector manages this collection as to finding fast what he wants. The horses are yet another theme frequently covered by postcards.
Anyway, this is enomous by the common standards of postcard collecting - and I have only admiration and silent amazement -

Prague and Lithography, senefelder On-line gallery, postcards with old stamps, culture, collecting postcards: "I lithographed ie drew on stones views of Prague. I had them printed as postcards with names of the most famous beauty spots of Prague. I put a few of postage stamps from my grandfather's stamp collection, which are almost 100 years old and send my postcard via airmail worldwide - an original and rare philatelic postcard collectible with an ever growing value.----- " and I have sent quite a lot of them, at least tens fo them to every State of US, and I hope that tourists planning to visit Prague would like to have a very simple and still true summary of the most imortant historical and architectural monuments they should visit when they finally get here. Or at least to have a list of those noted and most famous beauty spots to choose from in advance.

ikarian_digit_photoshop

ikarian_digit_photoshop postcards - this time sent digitally by Icaros himself frem Greece and we have only digital edition. The place must be charming and virtually abounding in natural beauty - well before we , the mankind have manged to infest these islands with bus and plane loads of tourists swallowing hamburgers drinking good water and listenting with little or rather next to zero attention to the guide's lecture on the islands beauties¨- next step, beach pollution, urinating defecating and letting out other kind of even more shocking - SHOCKING- and objectionable - yet actually very frequently humane and human fluids. But this brings money in the land - doesn't it? Who cares about pollution. Only a silly blogger like me.
Soon we shall be having only postcards of such charming beauty spots. But this is a MUST VISIT, after all - I have seen a famous celebrity on TV and she he was there a year ago - now this is our turn - aren't we all celebs?
Certainly are but the earth is going to be a disused stinky and overpopulated ball spinning sadly in the Universe.
