Comment by Raphael Nadolny on August 30, 2023 at 5:10pm: Kalisz/Calisia - Breslau Turnpike - a former turnpike in Kalisz, at the junction of four main streets, built in the classicist style with a four-column Doric portico in 1828 to a design by Franciszek Reinstein.

Postcard about 1985.

Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on August 30, 2023 at 10:42am: SOMETIMES I WONDER "WHY ON EARTH WOULD ANYONE MAKE A POSTCARD OF THIS?'"

What is it? It's a bottling plant in Vittel, France, where, circa 1975, 400 millions of bottled water were shipped out each year. I am still wondering "Why on earth....?"

Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on August 22, 2023 at 11:11am: BANG! THIS IS A FRENCH 'CANON BITUBE DE 30 (with radar déployé)' POSTCARD SENT IN 1975. [I don't think we've had a miltary one before]

Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on August 21, 2023 at 11:55am: AUBERGE NEAR JEANMENIL, FRANCE

A strange Postcard. The auberge boasts a lake where you can catch trout. And a mini steam train. And a 'far-west' fort. And a play area (with slide). And some ponys. And even 'on demand' banquets!

But most of what you can see on the Postcard is a lot, an awful lot, of conifers.

Comment by Sarah Roe on August 18, 2023 at 12:59pm: It's a fine example of the grand pomposity of Americans to believe that everyone already knows what the Washington Monument is which lead to the lack of information about the picture on the postcard. On behalf of my countrymen, I apologize for our hubris about ... well, really, everything... sigh...

Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on August 18, 2023 at 12:49pm: MEMORIALS AND MONUMENTS IN FRANCE

1. CANADIAN MEMORIAL, VIMY, PAS DE CALAIS, FRANCE

At first glance, I thought this was a golf course.

2. NATIONAL MONUMENT, HARTMANNSWILLERKOPF, ALSACE, FRANCE
