Postcards Then and Now

Old postcards from the early 20th century, compared to the same view shown on Google Street View today. The postcards come from my own collection. Almost all of them are from England, mainly showing West London, Middlesex, Surrey, Berks and Bucks. Click on the postcards to see enlarged versions. Street View images are the copyright of Google. Comments, questions or requests are welcome. If you repost my images on other websites (such as Facebook) please include a link to my original post.

White Star Liner RMS Titanic 1912

To commemorate the sinking of the Titanic on this day a hundred years ago I've posted my only Titanic postcard. This example was posted nearly a month after the disaster. I imagine there will be a lot of blogs mentioning the Titanic today. Click the postcard to enlarge.

Did something happen with the Titanic? They should make a movie out of it...

Curious that the postcard publisher thought the ship's dimensions were more noteworthy than the tragic loss of life.
