Theme Thursday - New

I had a few options for this week's Theme Thursday theme of 'new' but finally decided on this vintage postcard of the Lower Square, Dover, New Hampshire. This is a linen style, vintage postcard published by Tichnor, number 75922. I love the vibrant colours and the quirky looking cars on this postcard which almost make it look as though it could have leapt straight from the pages of a Richard Scary children's book.

Theme Thursday - Paint

I struggled a bit this week for something appropriate for this week's Theme Thursday - paint. This is a bit of a cheat ... it's a vintage postcard of the Painted Canyon in Mecca, California. I've never been there but looking at pictures of it on the web, this postcard does not seem to do it justice, although the old car is good.

Linen vintage postcards of the USA

I generally only tend to collect postcards of Great Britain, but over the years have managed to accumulate a reasonable number from other countries. Interestingly a bunch of Curteich, linen postcards were amongst my first acquisitions when I caught the postcard bug about 5 years ago, and it wasn't until I was doing a bit of organising recently that I re-discovered them. This one is of Point Lookout, East Windham, New York state, on the Mohican Trail in the Catskills. It was published by C.W.Hughes and Co., number 9A-H194.

This next postcard is of The Old Man of the Mountains by Moonlight, in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. This one does not have a publisher's name, but is numbered 132L

I'm very sure that these range and style of postcards cover many more subjects and states than I have found. The ones I've come across seem to be mainly topographic postcards of New York, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
