Man, that’s quite impressive! And I would think not easy to get.
Best wishes for the rest of the summer mate.

Thanks mate. What surprised me most is how good condition they were in considering almost 90 years old.
My summer is about to start in September when I get 2 weeks off work, yay! (barring any national emergencies Covid-19 related!).
Hope your summer’s been good? And creative?

All good. I’ve sent you an email about what I am up too a few weeks ago. If you didn’t get it, I may try again. There was an idea about a joined / synchronized post.

Ah, send it again mate please! I checked my mail a few days back and nothing in, so might have got eaten by gremlins. A joined/synchro post sounds cool!

One of the service users I work with would love this. He collects post cards of early 20th century actresses. Violet Vanbrugh is one of his favourites.

Thanks Metalman. So many acting stars back then, and they were talked about as celebrities with their latest films, scandals, and love affairs in much the same way they are today in magazines and online. Not much change really in nearly 90 years!

I like the tiny little TVTA tag you are adding to your images. I may have to start marking my images.
You certainly have a broad filed of interests.

Thanks, Neil. I mark them as subtly as I can, and just to draw a link back to my site as they’re used all over the internet once I publish them. Over 4k archived images now and counting! For photos of my toys or out and about I always mark them with a bolder tag, as they’re my own compositions.

Thanks, Jacob. Agree, as covers they’re attractive and would look good framed.
