Celebrate! Today is the first full day of autumn, which is our favorite time of the year here at Papergreat Headquarters. (And, yes, I will freely admit that my love of autumn is helped by the fact that I have no leaves to rake in my yard.)
The title for this post features the word "autumn" in five other languages:
- осінь = Ukrainian
- høst = Norwegian
- hydref = Welsh
- automne = French
- Намрын = Mongolian
And here, as another still-fledgling tradition here at Papergreat, are some autumn-themed vintage postcards...
Above: This is a "'Curteichcolor' reproduction from Kodachrome or Ektachrome original." It is labeled as CK-153. I believe the original would have dated to 1954. This reproduction could be from the 1970s.
Augusta, Wisconsin, is a tiny city with a population of about 1,500. It hosts an annual festival called Bean and Bacon Days.
Above: This postcard illustration was done by an artist who signed his/her work "L. DuPont." No publisher is listed on the back of the postcard, but the stamp box calls for a one-cent stamp for the U.S. and Canada.
