Missing word

Philco Series 9009E, Missing Word Series, The Philco Publishing Co., Holborn Place, London, W.C. Postmarked Redhill, May 22, 1909 and addressed to Mr. M. McAulay, Drumlanrig Flower Gardens, Thornhill, Dumfriesshire, Scotland.
There's a rather cryptic message written on the reverse: "Dear M. - (word scratched out) away at present, but will write when she comes back. She would have written to you long ago, but you did not give her your address. Hope you are getting on well. All much as usual about here. Kind regards from Eleanor".

To Greet your Birthday

On the reverse: The F.C.B. Gems of Art Series No. 8051. Processed in Prussia.

A very fine moustache

Hair is this week's Sepia Saturday theme. This chap's carefully waxed moustache took my fancy, as well as his immaculately coiffed hairstyle.

Written on the reverse "Your Affectionate Son, P. Lennon". You can find out about more splendid moustaches and their history and cultivation here.

Lots more hairy posts over at Sepia Saturday!

Playing the game

This week's Sepia Saturday theme revolves round games. I have several images that fitted the theme, but decided to share this one because it makes me smile.

I do love Edwardian sentimental cards like this one. I think it's the gentle coyness of message that appeals to me as much as the pretty images. This postcard, a Valentine's X.L. Series Real Photo Card, is postmarked February 10, 1912 and was sent to an address in Belturbet.

More fun and games over at Sepia Saturday!
