Postcard Postscripts: A 1948 Glimpse of Petit Port, Guernsey 🌊
“Nearly a week—woe is me! Still, it has been marvellous…”
This sepia view of Petit Port captures the rugged beauty of the Guernsey coastline, but the real treasure is on the reverse. Postmarked September 10, 1948, Marjorie’s note to the Bowden family in Surbiton is a time capsule of post-war leisure.
