what a wonderful collection! did you find them as a set? i would take the "natural color" boast on the back of the cards with a pinch of salt though!
ReplyDeleteThese came out of my parents collection. They did not collect postcards but did visit this area in the 1940's so I think that they bought them new
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you would be willing to sell the postcard of the San Juans? I recently completed a collage series inspired by vintage postcards of Washington, and am trying to procure the original images. Your blog was the first source of inspiration I found. So whether or not you are willing to sell the card-- thank you!
