I'm about to embark on a week of postcards relating to books and reading and her is one that I'm very fond of.
The card is a reproduction of an advertisement for Edison Mazda lamps from 1920 and I find it a most charming picture of contentment, complete with the cat. The lamp doesn't appear to be producing as much light as what I take to be the fire but I won't let that bother me. The name Mazda comes from the Zoroastrian god, Ahura Mazda meaning light of wisdom.
Wow this is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNow I want to collect the same theme! :D
Thank you. It's a great theme, or at least it is for me. :)
DeleteI love this photo.
ReplyDeleteI do, of course, agree.
DeleteThis is really lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's my current favourite. :)
DeleteLovely postcard and I look forward to the week's theme :). I must admit though that if I were in the postcard, I wouldn't be comfortable sitting that close to someone else while reading :)
ReplyDeleteYou know, I was thinking exactly the same. He would have had to keep moving to turn over a page, but apart from that, normally I read curled up, or sprawled, but never sitting neatly upright like this.
