A Radio Postcard Journey - 45


A vibrant postcard showcasing the iconic radio sets of the 1960s has received recently, carrying with it a slice of retro charm from Finland. The postcard, part of a series titled "Travel tracks of the 60s," features captivating photography by Riitta Eskelinen, who has skillfully captured the essence of the decade's sound technology.


The image on the postcard displays a nostalgic collection of vintage radio sets, each a testament to the design aesthetics and technological advancements of the era. From sleek transistor radios to larger, more elaborate models, the postcard offers a visual journey back to a time when these devices were the primary source of music and news for many.


This particular piece of postcard art was sent by Heli, a Postcrosser hailing from Finland. Heli's choice of this retro-themed card suggests a shared appreciation for history and the tangible beauty of physical correspondence.


The postcard is marketed by ifolor.fi, a company known for its personalized photo products. This collaboration between Eskelinen's evocative photography and ifolor's printing expertise has resulted in a delightful keepsake that resonates with both nostalgia enthusiasts and Postcrossing participants.


The arrival of this "Travel tracks of the 60s" postcard in Chennai serves as a charming reminder of the interconnectedness fostered by Postcrossing and the enduring appeal of vintage design. It’s a small piece of Finnish culture and 1960s history, now adding a unique note to a collection in India.
