EXCHANGES

Mr. would like to exchange good mandolin for an umbrella.

You don’t say! A cute French postcard with the hand scratched rain effect. Love the hat and slim fitting overcoat.


Cheeky postcard ‘Me Next’

Two gents claiming a kiss from the same lady. Don’t they look like twins? Kinky! And, hm, one of them is wearing a wedding ring! Forgot to take it off from the previous romantic photoshoot? ;)


The Purple Kiss

Another tinted French postcard of a beautiful couple kissing. Can’t get enough of these! He’s got a well placed hand too, doesn’t he?


The Peach Embrace

These sepia (but I’ll say peach) tinted real photo postcards are gorgeous, the color is soothing to the eye. The first of two smoking lovers breathes the 20s -pun. I look at it and hear Scott Joplin’s “Easy Winners”.

The second features the same man and the same woman but without her brunette wig (or she put on a blonde one,  whichever). She’s wearing a different dress too, but the ring on her left hand is the same. The male model is wearing a different suit too.

Woops!

Postcard

1910s Postcard

A cute postcard of a gent who still manages to look dapper while falling on his back! It would have been funny to add a hat rolling away.
