Postcards 1952
Cards purchased from January to September 1952.
The following pages contain postcards purchased in various countries during a nine-month trip from Australia to Britain and Europe in 1952.
As seen in previous pages, the basic Kodak Box Brownie camera captured reminders of many places visited during the tour.
However, due to the camera's limitations and often an inability to take snapshots at particular locations, a photo album of the snapshots seen earlier was augmented with the following postcards.
Most are black and white postcards, with just a few in colour.
There are also a few examples of black and white cards which have been hand tinted to create a virtual colour card. This was a common practice in 1952 and earlier years before colour film was widely used, and of course before the age of digital photos.
The hand painted photos rarely looked like an authentic coloured view of a scene, and would probably have been better left un-tinted.
If any of the following cards used breach copyright laws, please advise and they will be removed from the website.

Thanks to Google for allowing the locations of the photographed scenes to be displayed.
And as with the previous snapshots, the free use of Wikipedia has been a major help with preparing captions for the postcards.
