Some people really are very kind; an anonymous donor left a little packet of these delightful Welsh postcards in one of our departmental pigeon holes. They will be sent over to the Archives Department at our sister museum, St Fagans: Museum of National History but I couldn't resist posting a selection of them on Squirrel Library first.

The cards are mostly views of Llangollen but this bright little quartet was also included |
Seven of the postcards were published by Valentine's & Sons Ltd as part of their "Art Colour" series and there is quite a bit of information available on Mr James Valentine (1814-1879) of Dundee, please see the links below:
Unfortunately [for all nosey parkers], none of the cards has been written on :(
