A POSTCARD FROM ANTIGUA

  My folks visited Antigua in 1964. It was a first trip to the Caribbean for them. Mom purchased these postcards.

They are actually very artistic. And colourful! 

Don't you just love the detail in these postcards.

Fun dancing.

Who doesn't love the Limbo!

Somebody drew all these pictures. On the back of each card there is no mention of the artist. No credit given. No copyright!!

If drawn in this day and age with all the social media, the artist would be recognized. Has anyone with roots in Antigua! Perhaps we can find the artist or artists of these cards.

A POSTCARD FROM ANTIGUA

In 1964, my folks went on a vacation to Antigua, British West Indies.

I love the old dresses. Postcards give a social picture of a set time.

They stayed at the Blue Waters Hotel. I wonder if it is still there. The card in the middle is of the Anchorage Hotel at Dickinson's Bay. Nelson's Dockyard was the main tourist attraction as seen by the card in the top left corner.

As with many islands in the Caribbean, there is an annual carnival time. The beaches look so pristine, don't they? My mother loved the island and in her usual fashion, she wanted to go live there! No matter where she visited, she always wanted to take us all there! Has anyone been to this beautiful island lately? What are your thoughts?
