One of my favorite ways of exploring the past is through postcards. I have a rather large collection of postcards, both old and new, that I love going through from time to time. Also, postcards are kind of the prime example of kitsch, which is a big weakness of mine. With so many mass-produced images of nearly anywhere in the world circulating around, it so easy to see what a certain place used to look like, and how it has evolved over the years. Today I stumbled upon a site that has collected many postcards of time square (talk about kitsch!) and compares how the place has changed over the years. It is very fascinating and worth a look.
