Here’s a postcard I received recently from my friend. It shows a beautiful artwork by Zinaida Serebryakova called “Menton. Beach With Umbrellas” (1931). Postcard published by the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow.
This blog is about old postcards, book illustration and all kinds of paper whimsy from the Soviet Union. I'm a long time collector, and this blog is 7 years old. I have an etsy shop for cards, books and vintage finds from Russia. More items for sale on Facebook.
Summer is coming to an end, which means schools will start soon. I’m sorry for everyone who is going back (I celebrate every year I don’t, haha!)
Get ready for the Back To School day with these lovely vintage postcards. You can print them out to wish your friends, children or grandchildren a good school year.
By the way, I know that in other countries school don’t necessarily start on September 1 (like they do here in Russia). When is the Back To School day in your country/state?
Do you do Postcrossing?
Although vintage Soviet postcards is my main collection, I also love modern postcards from around the world and ! I’ve been a member since 2008. :)
It’s a little off topic, but does anyone here has any Christmas postcards from my wishlist? Please message me if you do!
