Vintage Postcard 1969 Polish British Santa Croce Da Vinci Dairy Festival Slogan

Social History: Sent to Hofman in Burton-on-Trent:

"Sobota. C.C.M. Ze Londynu. Lovely day. Off to see Da Vinci cartoons this p.m. C.C.M. Dorotka."

The use of "Sobota" (Saturday) and "Ze Londynu" (From London) in Polish adds a nice layer of multicultural social history to this British-mailed card.

Scene: A classic interior view of the Basilica di Santa Croce in Florence, Italy. Known as the "Temple of the Italian Glories," it is the burial place of luminaries like Michelangelo, Galileo, and Machiavelli.

Postal: Features a fascinating "The Dairy Festival - the country comes to town" pictorial slogan. These festivals were major annual events in London during the 60s, held in places like Whitehall to promote the British dairy industry.
