The black and white ones look a lot like the art of Edward Gorey.

I buy a lot of old postcards online and I absolutely love them! The humor is always so funny, and I always love to read one that was sent to someone all of those years years ago. 😊❤

The messages on the backs are a nice bonus. Two of my postcard purchases had encrypted messages on them, which were a complete surprise. A lot of the strange postcard images seem to anticipate future art movements, such as surrealism etc. I'm sure a lot of artists got their ideas from them.

I alighted at Sandling so I could walk to Hythe (25-07-24). I figured there would be a footpath, but what a delight to find the disused tunnel, the Norman Church, the later gatehouse, and the watchful oak. Why did they fill the area on the other side of the Tunnel? That's a huge volume of soil to move. Nice video.

Not only this , also these huge faces carved on mountains are signs that in very ancient times there were advanced civilizations able to carve thse things on huge mountains!!

What about pareidolia? Like that infamous example of what appears to be demonic faces showing up in smoke plumes from the World Trade Center when a bunch of jackasses kamikaze'd the towers back in 2001.
@creamofcardstvАй бұрын
Yeah, pareidolia is a fascinating subject as well. I'm sure that's how art started, piggy backing on existing phenomena. Jamais vu is fun as well. It reminds me of when you revise for exams so much that the familiar starts to become unfamiliar.

The palace reminds of a place in the United States in Lucas Kansas, called the "Garden of Eden". It was constructed in the early 1900s by a civil war veteran, its a menagerie of bizarre concrete and concrete-covered structures. Really quite the sight! Although, not to the scale of this palace

@creamofcardstvАй бұрын
They're so ubiquitous here in the UK that most Brits don't even notice they're there, hiding in plain sight. I'm ashamed to say that even included me up until recently. Yes, I discovered that they've got a wealth of information on them that gives away their age. We have some dating back to Victorian times in neighbouring towns and villages. I hope they don't go the same way as our iconic red phone boxes, which have all but disappeared from our streets. Often we don't notice something until it's gone.

@creamofcardstvАй бұрын
Film dates back much earlier but the film studios didn't promote the names of the actors who weren't already famous in their own right, probably economic reasons. Notice that early film posters don't feature the names of the actors, unless they were already famous by some other means. I have got some lobbly/trade cards from 1911. There is a bit of debate about who was the first true film star, famous through film alone. Some say it was Max Linder and others, Florence Lawrence. Yeah, the rise of the film icon is an fascinating subject since people have a tendency of mimicking their role models.

I thought I'd film them before they disappear, like most of the red phone boxes have already. It's only a matter of time before they do some more cost-cutting and sell them off.

Technically, a meme is anything that can be copied from one mind to another. In this sense, they pretty much predate humans - think "Monkey see, monkey do". Or, if we consider "history" to exclude prehistory, the first meme would be the first instance of written language.
@creamofcardstvАй бұрын
True, probably even predates the monkeys as well. I think the early 1900s postcard phenomenon definitely took the meme to the next level though. It was cheap, relatively quick to send globally and combined mass production, cottage industry and user generated content all in one. Much of the earlier media was only available to upper echelons of society, having a much more limited impact. Even people with a limited Sunday school education could send a postcard with a preprinted message on it.

Penfold boxes from Queen Victoria and the ones after are really interesting as well. If they would strip them of their paint and refinish them they would last forever. See the details on them better
@creamofcardstvАй бұрын
There's one in the neighbouring town of Folkestone that's quite nice. Unfortunately, I don't think there are any in Hythe itself. I've seen a Victorian wall box out on the Romney Marsh. It's fun looking out for those details when I'm out on walks, plus ghost signs and shop doorway mosaics are interesting to.
