Antique Postcard 1920 Loch Achray Ben Venue Scottish Highlands Belfast England

Social History: Sent from Belfast, Ireland to Chas L. Hersey at 107 Erskine Park Rd., Rusthall, Tunbridge Wells, England:

"Certainly. We will expect you on Sunday morning D.V. about 8 am. It will be nice to meet again."

The use of "D.V." (Deo Volente—God willing) was a common Edwardian/WWI-era expression of humility regarding plans.

Scene: This scenic view captures the peaceful waters of Loch Achray framed by the mountain peak of Ben Venue, a quintessential subject of the Edwardian travel era in the Scottish Highlands.
