Lovely Weather Every Day

Digna Sinke has kept postcards for as long as she can remember. Cards she received for birthdays. Cards sent to her parents or relatives. Cards she found in old shoeboxes. Cards from strangers. For about a hundred years, postcards were a way to stay in touch. The texts are often trivial, yet simultaneously universally applicable. Over those hundred years, not only the messages but also the images and the travel destinations have changed. These days, postcards are hardly sent anymore, and cards with cityscapes or village views are almost impossible to buy. The end of an era.
