Vintage postcard from Port Antonio Harbour and Navy Island, Jamaica W.I. Sent on March 4th, 1977 to Eileen and Philip in Toronto, Canada.
I blurred out their address just in case they still live there.
The postcard is in a plastic envelope. It was like that when I bought it. I doubt it is archival plastic. I like the ripples.
Status: All postcards are keep. It’s a question now of display.

Alt-title: Untitled Postcard No. 163 from Jamaica With Love
So I figured that Leonard Cohen must have done a song with the word postcard in it somewhere. But alas, if that is the case, I could not unearth it. I did discover he worked on a song called “There’s a Light in Jamaica” a tribute to Bob Marley, but that’s all I found. So the Alt title must stand without Mr. LC.
As usual Untitled Alt Titles were originally inspired by John’s blog (read original title post ) and Richard’s posts at The Future is Papier Mache.
I like the ripples too. “Archival” is one of the most overrated words in our language.
Vintage at 1977, now I feel old 😉
🙂 I’m not sure who decides what is vintage – in fact I know that vintage is incorrectly used (supposed to be only for wine) . I cast it in that category because I bought it a flea market!
🙂 No it’s vintage, I,ve got old records by the Clash et al in the loft and I call them vintage :-). God where have the years gone…
No kidding.
And consider this your official digital postcard to let you know, not that I am in a tropical paradise and you should be jealous but that you topped my list of five ‘Illuminating Bloggers’ (ya’ got an award, Missy!) 🙂
Digital postcard – love it. Thank you!!
