A Radio Postcard Journey - 31


I received this postcard from Karin in the Netherlands! ЁЯЗ│ЁЯЗ▒ It features the cover of "Het Jongens Radioboek Deel 1" (The Boys Radio Book Part 1) by Leonard de Vries, published by De Bezige Bij. ЁЯУ╗

This gem, likely from around 1953, is a Dutch book aimed at young readers, diving into the exciting world of radio technology and electronics. Imagine the thrill of building your own radio back then! The cover art, with its vintage illustrations of radio components, really captures the era's spirit.

It's amazing to think about how this book might have sparked a passion for electronics in young minds. The postcard design itself, credited to John Hummel and printed by Dr. Bezige, is a piece of art. The vibrant colors and detailed illustrations make it a unique collectible.

A big thanks to Karin for sharing this piece of radio history! It's a reminder of how much radio technology has evolved and how books like these played a crucial role in shaping the radio future.
