"Anvik," Alaska Husky
Welcome to my collection of Linen Post Cards. When I was a child in the 50s my eccentric aunt Hannah sent Linen Post Cards to our house from her adventures. The simple watercolor effect they have gave me many hours of daydreams from her travels. I hope I can share a few with you. Yes cards and daydreams.

Unusual card
Found this card with an interior featured on it. The interior has been applied to the original art nouveau card. No explanation. My guess advertisement from a furniture store. I just thought it was a pretty picture.
