The image is an airline safety instruction card titled “SAFETY ON BOARD MD-11,” printed at the top in large white letters on a red background. The card is arranged in a grid of illustrated panels combining photographs, diagrams, and symbols.

The upper section shows instructions related to seat belts, seat positions, and smoking restrictions. Photographs depict a passenger fastening and unfastening a seat belt. Red circle-and-slash symbols indicate prohibited actions, including smoking and the use of certain devices. One panel shows an aircraft seat with arrows indicating how the seat back and armrests move.

The middle section includes diagrams of an aircraft on water, showing evacuation procedures. A large central illustration depicts an MD-11 airplane floating on water with multiple exits labeled with letters and inflatable life rafts deployed on both sides of the aircraft. Smaller icons indicate brace positions and footwear restrictions, with a red circle-and-slash over high-heeled shoes.

The lower section focuses on life vest use. Photographs show adult passengers putting on bright yellow life vests, followed by images demonstrating how to fasten the vest straps. Additional drawings show how an adult assists a child with a life vest. At the bottom left, the card is labeled “swissair 0392-12063,” and at the bottom right, printed text reads, “Please do not remove from aircraft.”

The image is an airline safety instruction card titled “SAFETY ON BOARD MD-11,” printed across the top in white letters on a red background. The card uses a combination of diagrams, photographs, and safety symbols arranged in rectangular panels.

The main central panel shows a simplified top-down diagram of an MD-11 aircraft on a green background. Emergency exits are marked with letters “A” and “B,” and orange evacuation slides extend from multiple doors along both sides of the aircraft. Blue lines run lengthwise along the fuselage, indicating interior aisle paths. A small inset diagram in the upper left shows an aircraft silhouette on a runway.

On the right side of the card is a large no-smoking symbol, consisting of a cigarette inside a red circle with a diagonal slash.

Below the aircraft diagram are smaller panels illustrating evacuation procedures. One drawing shows passengers exiting the aircraft onto slides. Adjacent photographic panels show interior views of the aircraft door area, including a door with instructions and an emergency handle. Additional photos show passengers seated and demonstrating brace positions by leaning forward with heads down and arms protecting the head.

The bottom row includes images indicating differences between land and water situations, another no-smoking symbol, and a dimly lit aircraft aisle leading toward an exit. At the lower left, the card is labeled “swissair 0392-12063.”

Swissair Airline Caravelle Postcard flying over the Swiss Alps
.
#SwissAir #Caravelle #Postcard #SwissAlps #Travel #Ephemera #Europe #Snow #Aviation #Avgeek #Airplanes

This image shows a color photograph of a Swissair passenger jet flying over a rugged, snow-covered mountain landscape.

The airplane is seen from the side, flying left to right, above sharp, rocky peaks and glaciers. It has a white fuselage with a red stripe along the windows and the word “SWISSAIR” printed in dark letters on the side. The tail is red and displays a white Swiss cross. The aircraft appears to be a mid-20th-century jet airliner with engines mounted near the rear of the fuselage.

Below the aircraft, the terrain consists of steep alpine mountains with exposed dark rock faces and large areas of snow and ice. Several peaks rise sharply, with glaciers filling the valleys between them. The lighting suggests clear daytime conditions, with shadows emphasizing the depth and height of the mountains.

There is no visible text, border, or caption on the image itself, and no people are visible. The overall scene emphasizes commercial air travel over the Swiss Alps.

.
#Postcard #VintagePostcard #oldPostcard #artwork #RuralLandscape #AntiquePostcards #Ephemera #retro #vintage

This postcard features a small landscape painting centered within an ornate, embossed gold frame set against a lavender background. The painting shows a rural scene with a small farmhouse or barn near a cluster of trees, open fields in the foreground, and a glowing yellow-orange sky suggesting sunrise or sunset. Decorative white border lines frame the card. To the right of the image, the words “Good Luck” appear in gold cursive lettering with small floral embellishments. The overall design and color palette are typical of early 20th-century greeting postcards

This postcard shows two white kittens sitting close together against a softly blended background of lavender purple and turquoise blue. Both kittens have pink ears, pink noses, and light-colored eyes. In the foreground is a large ball of purple yarn, with a second ball of yellow yarn partially visible to the right. One kitten faces slightly left, looking outward, while the other looks downward toward the yarn. The image has a pastel color palette and a gentle, posed studio-photography style typical of mid-20th-century novelty postcards.

1943 Greeting from Lancaster Pa, Postcard
.
#LancasterPA #PennsylvaniaHistory #VintagePostcard #LinenPostcard #pennsylvanianews #ephemera #Postcards #GraphicDesign

This is a vintage linen-style postcard reading “Greetings from LANCASTER PENNSYLVANIA.” The words “Greetings from” appear in cursive at the top left, with “LANCASTER” in bold block letters at the top right. The large word “PENNSYLVANIA” spans the width of the card in tall, white-outlined letters. Inside each letter are small illustrated scenes of Lancaster and Pennsylvania landmarks, including a domed capitol building, church towers, statues, civic buildings, landscaped grounds, and a river or park scene. A red band runs horizontally behind the lettering, and the background sky is light blue with a yellow accent shape near the top. Pink flowers line the bottom foreground. At the lower left is the printed credit “Curt Teich & Co., Inc.” and at the lower right is the card number “OB-H864.” The overall style and texture are characteristic of mid-20th-century linen postcards.

A hundred years ago, people who collected #books would hire artists to design personalized bookplates (stickers). Most just say "Ex Libris [name]" in a fancy font, but some are more creative:
🧵

1) "Terrible love brings rot and sadness to everything."

2) "Should you fail to return this book / the Argus Eye at you will look"

3) "This is a book the Muse gave you to read, little bear"

4) "Read not books alone, but men; and be careful to read thyself"

This image is a vintage illustrated postcard showing a mother cat and four kittens arranged across a red background. The scene appears indoors, suggested by decorative black garland-like patterns printed along the upper portion of the image. The surface beneath the cats is also red, creating a nearly monochromatic backdrop that emphasizes the figures.

On the far left sits the adult mother cat. She is a short-haired tabby with brown, black, and tan striping, white paws, and a white chest. She wears a light blue collar with a small gold or brass-colored bell at the center. The cat is seated upright, facing forward, with a calm and watchful expression.

To her right are four kittens, all tabby patterned and smaller in size. One kitten sits upright near the center, holding a small round toy ball colored green with red accents between its front paws. Another kitten to the right is captured mid-leap, with all four paws off the ground and its tail raised. A third kitten lies stretched out on the far right, facing left, as if watching the jumping kitten. A fourth kitten appears lower and slightly right of center, crouched or reclining close to the ground.

At the bottom center of the image, handwritten-style text reads, “With best wishes.” The overall style suggests an early 20th-century greeting postcard, with soft, painterly illustration and warm, sentimental tone.

Skyline at Night, Minneapolis, Minnesota Postcard
.
#Postcard #Minneapolis #Minnesota #Ephemera #Vintage #LatenightVibes

This is a horizontally oriented postcard titled “Skyline at Night, Minneapolis, Minnesota,” with the caption handwritten in black script along the bottom .
The scene shows downtown Minneapolis at dusk or early night, viewed from a distance across a wide river. The sky fills the upper half of the image and is a warm gradient of amber, orange, and dusky pink, suggesting sunset fading into night.
In the foreground, spanning the entire width of the image, is a large arched stone bridge crossing the river. The bridge has multiple tall semicircular arches, darkened in shadow underneath. Along the top of the bridge runs a roadway lined with evenly spaced streetlights, each casting a small warm yellow glow. A few vehicles are visible only as tiny points of light, implying motion but not showing individual cars clearly.
The river below the bridge is mostly obscured by darkness.
Beyond the bridge rises the Minneapolis skyline, silhouetted against the glowing sky. The buildings vary in height and style:
Left stands a tall clock tower with a peaked roof; its clock face glowing softly.
Near the center are several Art Deco–era skyscrapers, their windows mostly dark with a few scattered points of light.
One modern office tower stands out with a smooth, flat façade.
On the right, a building displays a bright illuminated sign or rooftop feature, glowing orange-red.
Thin utility or power lines stretch horizontally across the upper portion , cutting lightly across the sky and skyline.

Hello From Minneapolis, Minnesota Postcard

Dear David,
This is the main road in
Minneapolis & Gloria & I were
here all day yesterday—all I
know for sure is that the
Aster (must think of a way
to get this through the pornographic
unit of the US Post Office) requires
you to be 21 to see its movies!
I trust you’re having a
wonderful summer—say hi to your
family for me—see you soon.
Peace,
David
