Although this postcard is the WWI era, the caption seems to sum up the British feelings about the London Olympics:
Visit Sepia SaturdayTo make dear old England happy and great,
The glad day of victory we hopefully wait.

I have some postcards much like this that my grandmother's English cousins sent to her. Very beautiful and sentimental. (kathy at abbieandeveline.com)

ReplyDeleteThe composition is very nice. I like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteA very nice postcard indeed!
ReplyDeleteAn attractive and sentimental card.
ReplyDeleteGetting England mixed up with Great Britain (as the card seems to do) wouldn't go down too well these days.Great card though.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed the Olympics and will be sorry to see them end. England can certainly be proud, just as the card says.
ReplyDeleteGreat Britain didn't have to wait long for victory - 28 golds so far.
ReplyDeleteLovely postcard.
ReplyDeleteLovely postcard and I like the sentiment. Fits well with the Olympic theme.
ReplyDeleteAdd 4 more cards and you might have the Olympic rings!
ReplyDeleteThese were great games, but are Brits happy at all? One may wonder with all of the discontent....
