-
Singapore – Johore Causeway
More useful as historical record than as fine art, this real photo B&W card was never mailed. It has barely visible corner indents from being in an album, and also minor corner abrasions. Reverse has pencilled indication of the subject, also a red index number and further Japanese writing. Grade: 4

-
Kanchana Buri, bridge over River Kwai (Thailand)
Did you know that’s not really the name of the river? Two modern, unused cards of this iconic location are available. They would be perfect apart from some fingerprint smudging on reverse. Grades: 2
-
Kanchanaburi, Dead Railway Bridge (Thailand)
This view is of what many people call the Bridge over the River Kwai. It’s this card that calls it the Dead-Railway-Bridge. (We understand “Kwai” to mean “river” in Thai, anyway.) Two cards are available. One was not postally mailed but has a message written on the reverse (Grade: 4, $1.50) while the other is unused (Grade: 1, $3).
-

-

-
Alcantara Bridge, Toledo (Spain)
This card was mailed in 1990, with two stamps but partial postmark. Considering what happened, it survived the trip well: the sender meant to direct the card to Malaysia, but wrote “Indonesia” instead, so there it went and was forwarded along with a large rubber stamp on the reverse that says the card was missent to Jakarta. Grade: 2
-
Slussen (Stockholm)
Another Ultraforlaget card (544) from 1969, also serrated edges, but this one was mailed, has two stamps and a full special postmark from the Wasa museum. Grade: 1
-
Citerne de Yere’Batan (Istanbul)
Cards like this were made to display in dark places. No idea of age, ~early 1900s, but this unused card is in excellent condition both front and back. And, if we may say, ultra-atmospheric and exotic. Grade: 1

Two bridges for the price of one, but this mailed card (from Malaysia, with stamp) is torn vertically almost all the way through. Grade: 5
-
Jambatan Pulau Pinang (Malaysia)

Mailed in 1991 from Jerteh, with a Terengganu stamp and partly legible postmark. Minor ink smudging on the front, and a bit of Wite-out on the back. Grade: 4
