Go Karte

Enjoyably busy, with Travels in Mitteleuropa and final tweakings to Another Effort Comrades, if you would be Modernists, as it will be called unless someone has a better idea. I'm open to suggestions. In Ljubljana, the most bourgeois city I have ever been to (imagine a medium-sized Swiss city, only even more reserved, and cleaner) I spent some time searching out the little remnants of the glorious days of self-management socialism (append long anti-Stalinist disclaimer here). There are photographs and some magnificent book covers to come, but I did find several quite wonderful postcards, from the 40s to the 80s which are well worth a gander. Some of the best I've ever found, in fact, well worth adding to any forthcoming Boring Postcards-Ost.



In a more brightly-coloured vein, go to Popcards and A La Ville, for some fine French examples of the form, at I Like.
