Postal History of Dutch East Indies


The handwriting on this postcard reminds me of my parents', especially my mom's. There was a certain artistic flair to it and I always recognized her handwriting immediately above all others. My father's was more structured and controlled and looked like a piece of art. This particular postcard is from 1903 from Sumatra to Holland "Greetings out of Sumatra".

I love seeing old letters and post cards! Handwritten mail & beautiful script is such a lost art.
