Postcards

[Susan Alby]

I was wondering if anyone else has a collection of vintage postcards or is interested in starting a collection? Many of mine are foreign (French and English) postcards from the early 1900's. I have yet to put them all in an album, though I will probably need more than one.

Hi Susan

yes, I love postcards, especially the ones with neat postdates and messages. Are yours liner related at all? A decent chunk of my collection can be seen in the thread "Rare Photo" - Mauretania postcards and such with the messages shown on several. Here is a link:

Best and Happy Holidays!

Hi Eric,
Your rare collection of Mauretania postcards is truly remarkable. I have found many of my collection from a wonderful seller on-line. Unfortunately none of mine are ship related, but hope you enjoy-

Merry Christmas to ALL and to ALL a Goodnight!

I do collect postcards, of ocean liners prior to 1940, especially from the famous lines such as Hamburg-America, White Star, Cunard, Norddeutscher-Lloyd and the like, as well as vintage views of China and Hong Kong (anyone collects them?)

I have not really investigated the albums on this site, but I was wondering if there would be any scope for some geographical/infrastructure views of selected locations (circa 1912). I can add some old postcard views of the Southampton area, but it would also be interesting to start albums on old New York, Liverpool and Belfast. Does anyone have any views on this idea?
