So, some of you may remember that on May 14th I posted that I had found a postcard sent by H.G. Wells to his wife and that I'd sent scans to the H.G. Wells Society to see if it could be evaluated. I heard back last night. The expert wishes to remain anonymous, but has given permission for the details of the evaluation to be shared. Below are the scans that I sent of the front and back of the card. The card shows a train at the top of the Brünig Pass in Switzerland... 1/11 #HGWells#Postcards
A columnist in the 1880s lamenting the death of “good speech” and long-form letter writing… felled by the fast pace of society, the telegraph, and postcards.
Printed colour postcard showing the Devil's Den near Marlborough in Wiltshire. Published by Tomkins & Barrett of Swindon in The Famous Series. Not numbered. Postally used in 1911. One for @thesweetcheat#Dolmens#Postcards#StandingStoneSunday
Went to list a postcard for sale this morning, then noticed that it was sent by HG Wells to his wife. Obviously I pulled it until I can authenticate it, but I'm fairly sure. 🤞 #HGWells#Postcards
I've written enough Postcards to Voters — I'm writing 10 right now for a Supreme Court election in Georgia — that I need to buy more postcards.
We have lots of artists here; does anyone sell postcards? I'm looking to buy about 100 with possible re-orders. The art must be nonpolitical and something that will make people want to read the cards. Pictures of animals, flowers, landscapes and such are all good. (My current ones have a bird.)
