My latest dusk/nighttime vintage postcard acquisition.  I think it's pretty special.  "The Witch Tree"!  Undated.


Also new today is this one, less striking but still worthy.  The background behind the dam's great.  Mid-'40s:

Some ephemera enthusiasts focus only on (varied themes) postcards - not a genre that appeals to me unless it's a moonlit night scene on linen, in which cave GIMME.  Here are some varieties - lake, lake with boat, the sea, a touchingly banal Main Street, Black Mountain NC.









But this last one here's my favorite night scene, a Pittsburgh steel mill, of all things. Sadly, it's undated.  I LOVE this card.
