Description
This is a remarkable collection of close to 400 postcards. This collection was my Fathers, Grandmothers, Brother. He died in the late 40's (he was in his late 70's or early 80's at the time). These postcards were collected from his travels, mostly in the United States but I did see some Canada, Bermuda, & Jamaica (There may be others). He was the single man and upon his parents death the caregiver for his sister who was had developmental disability. He used his love for travel to get some much needed solitude, relaxation  and to regroup before returning back to his responsibilities . As you will see he traveled often. Although I did do some research, I do not know enough about postcards to date them I do know that he collected these through the years prior to dying in the late 40’s so they would all be prior to that. This is a magnificent collection. It is assembled in a beautiful postcard album, which has a striking raised ornamental cover. This book itself is probably an antique (please note that the pages in the book are very old and fragile and have worn over the years and started to disincarnate, chip etc. The postcards themselves are still in lovely condition for their age. There are two cards towards the end of the book that are on opposite pages that must have been stuck to each other at one time. These 2 are flawed).  I also included an envelope that he had in the back of the album, which reads, “Twelve Splendid views New Masonic Temple Detroit, Mich.”. Inside the envelope are 12 Masonic postcards. Please take time to view all the photos (I apologize, some are a little blurred), they really tell an amazing story!
