Postcard Friendship Friday - Map of Australia circa 1916
It seemed fitting this week to share a postcard that I am using to illustrate one of the A-Z Challenge; my selected theme for this month long posting is Australia. You can read the various posts via this tag line
Its a lovely one. I bought it as part of a bundle at a bookshop in Hay on Wye. There was quite a pile all of them had been located in books by the seller so he decided to see them. I offered him £10 for the lot and he accepted.
I love map cards too. I have a lovely one of Surrey that I use as a prompt when I need research inspiration! and I have recently bought one in the same series of Sussex.

DeleteI love map cards, or rather, I love maps. Guess it was all those years studying cartography. Thanks for sharing.
