These are postcards my grandfather sent to his mom while he was serving during WWII. They are actually full books of postcards — beautifully printed on linen paper. I just thought I’d share them because they’re so cool looking. And the address is nearly the best part; Beldenville was (and still is) such a tiny community no street address was required. A name was all you needed. Simpler times. And why don’t postage stamps look like this anymore? So beautiful.
