Found images

I recently found a notecard of a copy of an old, vintage postcard of the Pima County Court House, with the printer being Found Image Press (www.foundimage.com). If you log on to their website, there’s a link to hundreds of vintage postcard images from all over the world.

Here’s an image of a vintage Tucson postcard (which I incidentally picked up at an art reception at the Temple of Music and Art in April, 2008):

The explanation of Tucson locales are (from left to right) – Pima County Court House, air view of Tucson, U.S. Veteran’s Hospital, Papago Indians, San Xavier Mission, and Giant Cactus (Saguaro National Monument).

For a nostalgic trip into yesteryear, check out their website. For their link to 4 pages of Arizona images, click here.
