of Virginia sightsThis is a large group of 152 copies of four different types of postcards showing Virginia scenes about half a century ago. There are between 23 and 47 copies of each of the different views.They are undated, but were probably published in the early to mid-1960s. I got them at an sale in the late 1970s, in six shoeboxes containing bulk quantities of postcards which had never been used. Although printed around 60 years ago, they are still in fine condition, like new.The individual details of the four types included in this large lot are as follows —* * * * * * *
