Social History: Mailed to I. Hofman in Burton-on-Trent, England:"Tarbotton's phoned - say OK re garden & that they will give a key now - useful. Say ta for the egg. Do you know whether the cooking oil called Crisp & Dry is good for my chip pan (I was hoping to get away from over-greasy cooking?) - can't find it in the Which? that we have. See you next Tuesday. What does Tata want for birthday? - can you bring 1) dress-blue + skirt-in airing cupboard...visitor's bk-in dressing table."The mention of Crisp & Dry (a brand launched in the late 60s) and Which? magazine provides a wonderful time capsule of mid-century consumer culture.Scene: Features one of the most unique architectural sites in Italy: the flooded 9th-century crypt of the Basilica di San Francesco in Ravenna. It is iconic for its submerged 5th-century mosaic floor and the goldfish, famously known to swim among the ancient columns.Postal: Circular date stamp from Birmingham, dated 11 April 1972, and a blue circular Museo Nazionale - Ravenna museum handstamp on the reverse, indicating the card was likely purchased at the museum before being brought back to the UK to be mailed.Era: ChromeSize: Continental 6 x 4"Type: Da Fotocolor Ektachrome (Color Lithograph)Publisher: Edizioni E.
