In Praise Of Picture Postcards

I miss picture postcards: that unique combination of image and words and that alignment of the public picture and the private message. They have survived a century or more and provide us with a bookmark for all our history and for all our yesterdays. This one – featuring the Scottish town of Alexandria – was sent to my Great Uncle Fowler Beanland and was passed down the generations to me. Try doing that with a text message!
