Taken on the Telde
by Richovery

This postcard was found on a well known auction site and reads ‘Taken on the Telde on the way to Morocco. Observe her smile!!’ written vertically alongside the image. The postcard is only blue on the side of the image, I’m unsure if this was intentional or if the colour has transferred from another surface. The postmark is Bangor 8.15 pm July 15th 1901 and the address is Mrs Hunt, Ross Bank, Bare, Morecombe.
Interesting and puzzling photograph!!
I wonder why the lady looks so pleased? The blue colour is also a mystery. You certainly find some very interesting photographs Richard.
It is a bit puzzling. I thought the colour had bled from coloured paper/ink but there is no sign of any blue on the addressee side of the card. The lady does look very happy. Thanks Mum : )
