"Mr. Postmaster" was my husband’s grandfather, Ernest (Illie) Illingworth. He was Postmaster of Springfield, VT.

Written on the back:

Mr. Postmaster
Springfield, VT

How Come! We are doing the city. (Brattleboro). Johnson is rearing to go all the time.
I suppose Joe is enlisting Miss Rea most of the time.
Give my regards to the bunch.
As ever,
Cal.

Looking across Lake Lugano to Mont Bre.
My mother and her friend went on holiday to Switzerland and Italy (from England) in 1951.
This is one of quite a few beautifully hand colored postcards that she bought and brought home.

This photograph comes from a collection of postcard-style prints, collected by W.Beckerlegge and acquired by my father. There are two main sources of these commercial photos, produced around the 1923 grouping, W.H.Whitworth (WHW) and the Locomotive Publishing Company (LPC). The photographers have not been credited on the prints, so cannot be recorded here.
