From Europeana Collections comes this collection of curated vintage postcards from Southeastern Europe. These gorgeous postcards are organized by country/region (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia) and accompanied by a short essay. These essays contextualize the postcards by describing the history, geology, architecture, and culture that they represent. Users can navigate between collections at the bottom of each essay. In total, this exhibition features hundreds of postcards that portray famous buildings, bucolic nature scenes, famous castles, and depictions of everyday life. While most postcards feature artistic renderings of their subjects, others feature photographs. The website's design makes for easy browsing and an enjoyable glimpse into the history and landscape of southeastern Europe.
