One Postcrossing, Two from my Uncle

I found this postcard at my great uncle's house. He had a goat farm, so this card was very fitting. He participated in multiple programs within the local schools talking about his experiences as a veteran, and someone sent him this as a thank you note.

I also found this one at my great uncle's house. On the back it says, "V.F.W National Home. Eaton Rapids, Michigan. Headquarters for the world's only fully equipped and fully trained "teenage" fire department".

I recieved this one through postcrossing! It was sent from Russia. If you'd like to get a closer look at the text, just click on the photo. On the back it says, "Moscow. View of the Kremlin from the Moscow-River".

Vintage Reprints

I found all of these postcards, which are vintage reprints, at our local Ocean State Job Lot. I was really excited, because they were so cheap!

This one is my favorite in the bunch. It's a print of "The Spirit of America", which was a World War One poster by Howard Chandler.

The actor Marlon Brando, photo taken by John Engstead

This one is an American Circus poster from 1904, which is on display at the Shelburne Museum, in Shelburne, Vermont.

This is a print of "Trail Riders" (1964/1965), by Thomas Hart Benton. I thought this one was so beautiful!

This is a print of the lithograph by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, who lived from 1864-1901. Not going to lie.. I find this one a little creepy!

This is another World War One poster, by Walter H. Everett. It's called "Must Children Die and Mothers Plead in Vain?". The original was a lithograph, 40 x 29 3/4".

I absolutely love this one! It's called "Harbor Scene with St. Paul's Departure from Caesarea". It was painted with oil on copper, in 1596. It's by Jan Breughel the Elder, who was Flemish. He lived from 1568-1625. I believe it's currently at the North Carolina Museum of Art.

I just love the bathing suit she is wearing in this one! The woman is Greer Garson, an Anglo-Irish leading lady. She was born in 1908 and this photo was taken in 1939.

I think everyone knows who this is! Marilyn Monroe!

This one is Rock Hudson, who was an actor. This photo was taken in 1952, by Sid Avery.

I find this one to be the most interesting. I feel like these men would have such an interesting story to tell! Apparently they were tenant farmers in Chatham County, North Carolina. Taken in 1939 by Dorothea Lange.

I find this one so amusing simply because if you compare bodybuilders today to the man in this picture, they would look nothing alike! This photo was taken in 1914, by an unknown photographer.

This is Hedy Lamarr, Austrian born film star. She was born in 1913. The photo was taken by Laszlo Willinger in 1940.

This is J. Edgar Hoover & Shirley Temple. This was taken in 1938.

This one is Susan Hayward, an American actress. This photo was taken by Paul Hesse in 1940.

This is a roadside shrine in Northern France. This was taken by Allan Burgis in 1971.
