LEAP YEAR POSTCARDS
I'm an antique-postcard collector -- a
DELTIOLOGIST. I just love the amazing artwork on what I call "The Pretties". Art
that has stayed vibrant and colorful due to the old printing and lithography
methods.
And I like that there were postcards for just about every taste, theme,
subject, and holiday. 
Even the odd holiday-- such as Leap Year, which is this year, and month.
The Antique Trader ran an interesting article on LEAP YEAR POSTCARDS on their website.
Leap Year is the chance for single women to grab themselves a husband, and
he can't say no. There are many comical postcards for this tradition. Some show
pretty modern women being 
assertive, and others show less attractive "Old Maids" using
whatever means they can to catch themselves a feller. 
You can sign up for the Antique Trader's free
email-newsletter if you are interested in more postcard articles, and
of course articles on all other kinds of antiques as well. I always learn
something new and interesting when I read it.
