Alice Is Living in My Mailbox (IV)


Heleen (the Netherlands) this Frog gots mail postcard. The proper aristocratic title is, however: An invitation from the Queen to play cricket.  It belongs to the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland illustrated by John Tenniel (1820-1914), and coloured by Harry G. Theaker (1873-1954).

I can really appreciate the colouring work, because I had previously received the pencil and reversed (?!) version of this postcard:


PS It is not the first time I find a reversed postcard...

Received Lighthouses on Postcards


Three postcards sent by Heleen (the Netherlands). The first shows Neist Point Lighthouse in Scotland (But the information is not written on the back). 

The second one was hand-painted by Heleen and shows the lighthouse of Torredembara (in Spain). something curious about: It was totally finished at 20.00 hours on the 31st December of 1999.The turning on of the lighthouse happened at 00.00 hours of the 1st January 2000. So, it makes history as the last lighthouse built in the 20th century and the 2nd millennium and the first lit in the 21st Century and the 3rd Millennium.




And an impressive picture as a long postcard showing in the distance a lighthouse in the largest lake in Western Europe: IJsselmeer.


Update: See this postcard received by Ravindra. The postcard is turned the other way round. Funny, isn't it?
