Kokkola, or Karleby, is in western Finland. It is bilingual, with roughly 80% of the population speaking Finnish, and 20% speaking Swedish. Until 1933 it had a Swedish-speaking majority. It was founded as a shipping port for the tar trade and became an important ship-building centre.

That Disney font on the card is just the icing on the cake!
ReplyDeleteYour blog made me go look for the postcard collection I had as a child, my grandmother would send me a postcard every Friday. It was really very special to me. When her friends would go on trips, she would have them send them to me too. I hope I can find it!
I do hope you can find your collection, that would be a wonderful thing to have. Very often it's the message on the back that makes it special.
