Destinations

The following postcards are all related to travel destinations. There are both popular travel destinations, as well as, rarer destinations. There is healthy blend between urban locations, and natural locations. It's quite interesting to see how some popular travel destinations remain the same since the late 1800s to early 1900s. Simultaneously, there are travel destinations that are relatively unheard of today.
