Mid-Day View of the Phataya Sea-Beach

Mid-Day View of the Phataya Sea-Beach

Still from the series of (otherwise) unused, aging cards, probably 1970s or earlier, onto which a Buddhist association has overprinted a seasonal greeting in Chinese, in large red characters, on the reverse.  In this series, the greeting is always the same.  To see it, go to our scan for card #20326413.  But this one card is unusual in having an English-only caption that almost completely covers the reverse.  If one was determined, one could send this as a postcard — but you would need to work at that.   This card shows more aging than others in the series, and spells “Pattaya” more than one way.  Grade: 3
