Cuernavaca Earthenware

This is a real photo postcard of arte popular (folk art) for sale in Cuernavaca, Mexico. The title Loza de Cuernavaca translates as  "earthenware Cuernavaca." The name of the photo studio, Yañez Fotografica, appears in the upper left hand corner. The only information that I could find about this studio was in a listing of some postcards that stated "these wonderful old photo postcards are of Cuernavaca by the famous Yanez Fotografica studio, which photographed Mexico from around 1900 until circa 1930."

The photo is printed on Agfa postcard photo paper. This back is different from the Agfa backs generally used in the United States. I only was able to find a couple of used/dated postcards with this style of back, 1930 and WWII era.

Laundry Scenes & Methods

Here are three postcards from a monthly advertising series used by laundries and cleaners in 1913. The fronts of the postcards show a variety of laundry methods in foreign countries, while the backs have descriptions of  the more modern processes and methods used in American commercial laundries of the era.

The first postcard shows a hand laundry in Panama. This postcard was sent in December, and the message on the back indicates that it was the last card in the "series of hand-colored photographs of laundry scenes in all lands."

The next postcard shows a public wash house in Italy. The back discusses the use of the machines used for ironing and finishing shirts..

My final postcard has a scene of river wash boats in Switzerland. The message on the back discusses the big flat ironer machines used for flat work like sheets and pillow cases.
