And in Life's Evening Time


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.

  2. Lovely 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 :)

    1. You 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.
