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.

ReplyDeleteAt last, a modern scene with people in it. They look remarkable the same.
ReplyDeleteTrue serendipity of the internet age to get such a coincidence. Is a portrait format for this kind of early street view postcard unusual?
