Post Card Saturday

And it's still Saturday! Woweee!

As you look at this fine offering, however, you might (understandably) wonder who these dour men might be. I will tell you. Apparently they are English historical figures. 




One of them sounded vaguely familiar to me when I read about him but... I digress, ha ha!

Here are their names...

In amongst the cards I've been given, I find what I must figure to be "sets". Or at least an odd grouping of similar cards (another of these "sets" next week, in fact). Usually the stacks aren't organized in any way, but as I look through them, I find them.

I found these three while looking through my cards. They are similarly laid out, seem to have the same sort of card stock, from the same place... All that made me think the same person had these once upon a time. No one should ever assume, but I sort of am here, lol.

Back in the day, before everyone had little computers with cameras with them all the time, it was harder to get pictures of some things. Even now, a lot of places don't allow flash photography with historical places and artifacts, because it can harm the pictures, objects, etc. This was another void filled by postcards. If you wanted a picture of something, then you bought a postcard of it to keep. That's all I can guess on these. 

Why these three, I don't know. Here are the blurbs about them on the back. (As always, apologies for the bad photography, lol.)

As you see (or maybe not, I guess), none of these cards was sent, or even written on, so that's another reason I have my theory that these were keepsakes of someones and not meant to be mailed. I will freely admit it's only a working theory, however, lol. Another of those questions that will never be answered.

In the meantime - Enjoy! I know I am. Another Post Cart Saturday next Saturday!
