Trim Moustache - Nov 2

I've always enjoyed looking over the postcards from seaside resorts in England in the 1800s to the early 20s.  The strange idea of what would be appealing for vacationers to send home sends the mind on interesting curlicue pathways.  I always think I've seen the one that caps it all, and then I turn over another one and wonder:  what were they honestly like, these folks? 

Odd to think that somewhere in a distant future, someone will be thinking that of us as they turn over the ephemera we leave behind in dusty boxes.

  1. I love the little guy--also really like finding out about other's inspirations. (And I think we're even crazier than they were. Maybe that's good, maybe not.)
