Vintage Paper Arts

I love finding vintage and/or historical postcards when I visit places. Here are two that I found intriguing.

Wenn jeder Wechsel den Glücklichen schreckt,

Mit solch einem Wechsel da ging es;

Denn immer noch macht einem schönen effect

Solch ein liebender Wechsel des Ringes.

LITERAL TRANSLATION IS:

If any change scares lucky

With such a change as it went;

For still makes a nice effect

Such a loving exchange of rings.

Principauté de Monaco

Le Palais du Prince

LITERAL TRANSLATION IS:

Monaco Principality

The Prince's Palace

I don't have a lot of confidence in Google Translate after putting together this post. At least on the first one. Also, I don't like editing my post 30 times to get the spacing right. At first post it was triple spaced, and the words underneath the pictures keeps typing off into the right till it drops off the edge of the blog. I'm not exaggerating. Thirty (30) times.

I'm off to find out if Mercury is in retrograde. Ha.
