Christmas postcard sent in 1977. Another example of production during the communist era in Poland, when attempts were made to detach Christmas from its religious context. A postcard of a completely secular nature. But such postcards were also produced in Western capitalist countries.

Antoniuk - a residential area in the northern part of Bialystok. It includes residential neighborhoods: Przyjaźń (in the 20th century it existed as a separate settlement) and Sady Antoniukowskie, which are not administrative units. Since the mid-1960s the area has been developed with modernist blocks of flats. A postcard from 1971.

Hi! Jimmy Connors

Yes it is difficult to decide whether a Postcard is Boring or not. One (of a hotel, for example) may be; but a group of hotel postcards may not be. Please send me what you've got, and I'll give my 'expert' opinion on their Boring-ness. But, they must be commercially sold Postcards, and no collages, drawings etc can be put on them. Thanks; Val

Christmas postcard from 1952. Printed during the Stalinist regime in Poland. It reflects the break with the Christian/Catholic character of these holidays. Therefore, attached is a photo of icebreakers on the ice-covered river.
