I attribute my love of postcards most to the vintage street scenes; they have capture a brief moment in time that otherwise would have been lost in the memories of those that lived long before me. Looking at these wonderful street scenes is almost like gazing through a window into the past. But over the last few years I have come to appreciate other types of postcards. I have been branching out my collection to include several postcards that were designed to show off the sender's clever wit.
The messages on these wonderful postcards are often easy to figure out, even if I don't find it quite as humorous as someone from the early 1900s might, but that is not always the case. Some of them completely fall flat and I can't figure out for the life of me why the statement would be on the card much less sent to someone. Some seem so unfunny and not clever that I find myself returning to reread the statement hoping the light bulb in my head will turn on. Most often it is the saucy humor found on the seaside postcards that go over my head but alas I am not a fan of that kind of comedy all around anyway.
