So cute!
BTW, I moved the thread to this Mineralogical Literature section, more adequate for your fine postcards, I believe.
Thanks for sharing Andreas!

I like the way these old postcards capture the time, catch the atmosphere of a mineralogical site. Great collection. Thanks for showing them to us.
