Postcards

Over the years Postcards were a means of communicating brief messages, sort of an e-mail before computers.  Usually sent from a town or place of temporary residence or vacation, they conveyed a little bit of that place.  The cards below  and on the linked pages are of Ipswich and cover many decades.  Wherever possible I have tried to date them.  Click on the small images on each page to see a larger image.
