I have no 'Then and Now' image to post with this postcard. However the message on the postcard lifts this postcard out of the ordinary into something quite special. Fellow postcard collectors will immediately see why this postcard is special. The writing on the front says 'I wonder if I shall ever have anybody to take me out like this' and on the back the lovelorn writer says to her friend 'It wouldant (sic) be half bad if we were in the same place would it. Isabel'. Poor lonely Isabel is clearly longing for romance and has never been taken to a restaurant by a potental husband. Shame.
Old postcards from the early 20th century, compared to the same view shown on Google Street View today. The postcards come from my own collection. Almost all of them are from England, mainly showing West London, Middlesex, Surrey, Berks and Bucks. Click on the postcards to see enlarged versions. Street View images are the copyright of Google. Comments, questions or requests are welcome. If you repost my images on other websites (such as Facebook) please include a link to my original post.
Oh, that is a shame. Poor lonely Isabel. The guy doesn't look all that romantic either!
