The architectural sheet presents the terminal’s entrance elevation along with detailed first- and second-floor plans. The drawings reflect the building’s functional layout: the first floor includes a ticket office, lobby, restaurant, and administrative offices, while the second floor houses the airway communication bureau, weather station, additional office space, and a rooftop terrace. The design illustrates the period’s emphasis on efficiency, visibility, and passenger comfort in small-city airport planning.

postcard is a classic linen-era illustration showing a Douglas DC-3 parked on the ramp in front of the original Kent County Airport terminal. Ground crew members are servicing the aircraft while passengers and airport staff gather near the entrance. The scene captures the streamlined, modern aesthetic associated with late-1930s commercial aviation and reflects the airport's early role in connecting Grand Rapids with regional air service.

he final postcard shows the interior of the Northern Air Service Sky-Lounge located inside the terminal. The image captures display cases filled with travel goods, clothing, and accessories, as well as a long curved seating area. Framed aviation photographs line the wall above. This retail and lounge space reflects mid-20th-century airport amenities, which combined passenger services with local concessions to create a comfortable preflight environment.

Subjects taken at American University of Beirut [approximately 1925 to 1946]

1 negative : nitrate ; 4 x 5 in.

The American University of Beirut is a private, non-sectarian, and independent university chartered in New York with its main campus in Beirut, Lebanon. AUB is governed by a private, autonomous board of trustees and offers programs leading to bachelor's, master's, MD, and PhD degrees.
Beirut is the capital and largest city of Lebanon. As of 2014, Greater Beirut has a population of 2.5 million, just under half of Lebanon's population, which makes it the twelfth-largest city in the Levant region and the sixteenth-largest in the Arab world. The city is situated on a peninsula at the midpoint of Lebanon's Mediterranean coast. Beirut has been inhabited for more than 5,000 years, making it one of the oldest cities in the world.

The image is a black and white photograph, possibly an old postcard or print. It depicts a scene of tennis on a court. There are several figures engaged in playing tennis. Two players are at the net, one on each side, while others are spread around the court, some likely waiting for their turn to play. The court is marked with lines indicating boundaries and service boxes.

On the sidelines, there's a group of spectators seated and standing, attentively watching the game. The spectators include both men and women. In the background, there are palm trees swaying gently, suggesting a tropical or Mediterranean location.

The image has a vintage feel to it due to its monochromatic color scheme and possibly the style of clothing worn by the individuals. There is a noticeable tear in the lower right corner of the image, indicating it may have been damaged or aged over time.

I started with my preparations for the #39C3 🎉. Currently, I have a lot of other stuff to do in parallel - but the most important stamp is finished and ready to use :D I hope I will have enough time to make some stamps for the background as well, but I still have some from the GPN. I will keep you updated and hope to see you at the chaospost 📯

"Alpha Centauri?" Cedric was incredilous.
Nigel snapped, "Alpha Centauri Bb!"
His son was resolute to Cecil's annoyance. "How do you expect a #postcard to get there?"
"U.S. mail!" He was matter-of-fact and wondered how his father could be so dumb.
Dad knelt, "We've barely left our solar system. We've only been to the moon." He held those small shoulders, "It's not possible."
"Is too!" He shook out of his father's grasp and stepped back. 1/x

Is there anything sweeter than seeing the love between a Victorian child and an emu they received for Christmas?

What? You think the child is expressing terror rather than love? Could be. I mean, those Victorians really knew how to use greeting cards to prepare kids for the horrors to come later in life. Or even that very afternoon.

The Painter Goblin: Becoming Corporeal

by @beet_keeper

When you move country you have to be prepared to change quite a lot about your life. Back at the end of 2020, apart from literally everything else going on my partner and I also moved from Canada to Germany.

For me, this was my fifth or so international move (including shorter temporary stays) in as many years.

Being able to pick up sticks and move like that means living a drastically minimized life. Most of the things you have fit in a suitcase. Most of the things you have are small, and largely not overly whimsical. Sure, you can fit a few treasures into your bag, but you learn to value small ones, not things you might otherwise use to decorate an entire apartment!!

So, what do you do when you do have an apartment to decorate?

You ask the best known painter in your family to conjure some magic, The Painter Goblin!

The Painter Goblin becomes corporeal by having its prints converted from digital to canvas in real life. In this image, the Painter Goblin canvases arer bathed in sunlight provided by a west-facing window around sunset. The grid used to display the Painter Goblin in a salon style shadowed by the window frame onto the wall. The light in this image has been enhanced to increase its saturation to mirror the vibrancy of The Painter Goblin's original image.

Hello

Here is my winter card, inspired by old child books. I love doing winter cards more than "Christmas" card. It will please the hearr of everyone who likes Christmas or Not 🤣
#winter #watercolor #postcard

The inside of a photographer's developing room in Verden, Germany. The company Liebert and Dittmar began in Bremen with just Liebert, then moved - or expanded - to Verden with Franz Dittmar, and then changed over to R. Staffa, all at the same address. It finally closed, under another name, a few years ago.

Views inside the hidden depths of photographer's studios, from the turn of the last century, are relatively rare.
