<a href="https://www.postcrossing.com/">https://www.postcrossing.com/</a> sending postcards around the world.

Just found Postcrossing, an organization started in 2005 for people trading postcards around the world in Jean Trals's IUOMA page which I looked at due to today being her birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Jean. There was a link there to the history of postcards and the postal system which includes a VERY LARGE collection of historical postal images perhaps of interest to some of us.

here's a link to one:

from the very early 1900's when it was still legal to mail a child!
