    Wow, these are very interesting. I have enjoyed looking at them. I especially enjoyed them because most of them were from before I was born. These also have quite a significant amount of history to them.

    I've found that also. I've found that not sticking to a theme costs more money too!:D

    These are beautiful post cards, thanks for sharing them. If you don't mind me asking where did you acquire these post cards?

    I love old postcards! I really love postcards and the idea of them in general, too. I know that today they may seem a little outdated which is a shame. I think that collecting old or new postcards from around the world would be really cool. It's like collecting souvenirs. I will have to look more into doing something like that. Thanks for posting these pictures, I like all of them!

    When I was younger I used to throw out all the postcards people would send me. Over the years, I've learned to appreciate them more and more. It's a shame because I don't get as many as I used to.

    I love the atmosphere in 1909 Cannes Boulavard de la Croisette Raphael Tuck Oilette series #766. Sometimes I wish there's no automobiles on the street,they contributed so much to air pollution :( Wouldn't it be nice if we start using horse cart for transportation again? Feeling the wind blowing against you can be pretty relaxing.
