Penny Postcards: Real People

Need a refresher in Virginia history? Put some breath and blood into the lesson by looking at faces and fashion from these 1901 and 1914 postcards instead of old buildings.

Ah, the Edwardian Age! When Leg of Mutton sleeves made every neck look slender…and lovers were too well-mannered to sit on the same park bench. It’s hard not to coo at old-fashioned Southern Gentility. Even casinos possessed an endearing level of innocence!
