Any fans of Victoriana or old postcards?
Because I have both. I'm starting a project to scan old family postcards that I was given by my grandfather years ago. I thought I might share some of the fronts with you. I love the old litho-chrome printing with the vibrant colors that was featured on the cards of those days.

This first series is a set of postcards from World War I. My great grandfather served in Europe so I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that he purchased these to send and then never got to it. The stamps are already on them. I'm going to dedicate this set to Shawnie and Jennie and everyone else who has someone in the armed forces serving overseas. And to those soldiers, sailors and marines too.
