I had to do a double-take when I saw this funny card, which shows Australia and Tasmania together as New Zealand’s “West Island.” From the back: “A little known fact about New Zealanders — their ability to keep things in their proper perspective.”
“Not only is Devonport the home to many international standard shops, restaurants and beautiful waterfront parks, it also holds the secret of New Zealand’s Naval Heritage in the Navy Museum. Only minutes by ferry from downtown Auckland, Devonport also offers spectacular views from its extinct volcano Mt. Victoria.”
We were not able to make it to Devonport during my last trip, although it was on the agenda. From the card: “Devonport ferry terminal and wharf complex provides a regular ferry service across the Waitemata Harbour to Auckland City.”
Two of three cards in the series! So the U.S. is a donut, while Eurpoe is salami! 🙂
Thanks to Maria for this very cool series of three cards put out by the Graduate School at the University of Auckland! This card, representing the U.S., shows a DONUT, which shows what the designers think of us in the States 🙂 From the back of the cards: “Add the world to your degree. Immerse yourself in another culture. Attend lectures on the other side of the world. Have an adventure of a lifetime! The 360-degree Auckland Abroad student exchange programme gives you the opportunity to complete part of your University of Auckland degree overseas.

Also from Maria — very cool — many thanks! 🙂 This novel first came out in 1964!
Third of three cards in the series: the U.S. is represented by a donut, Europe by salami, and Japan by sushi!
“A rotating art exhibit program spotlighting Western North Carolina artists at Asheville Regional Airport.” Picked this up while at the A’ville airport–and viewed the exhibit there, too! 🙂
Another cover reproduction, this time for a book published in 1946!
Pin Mill near Ipswich in Suffolk, England, where an old penpal lives. She sent this card to tell me she’s moved and to say it would be nice to hear from me again! I think I shall send a card in return! 🙂
