It has been a minute. Well, over a million of them actually.

Here are some cards that are featured in Volume 1, Number 8 of THE ACCUMULATOR


This is a fish trap in Southeast Alaska. 



This Aleut woman and child were forcibly removed from their home in the Aleutians or Pribilof Islands and interred in Southeast Alaska from 1942 to 1945.



I was unfamiliar with this means of locomotion until I saw this postcard!



This postcard was published in Newfoundland, Canada. 


I enjoy these outrageous Exaggeration Postcards.


This was printed in Minnesota. I think Joey lost the leg.



Great Pre-Photoshop cut and paste!




Kamloops rainbow trout caught in Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho.



These monstrous catfish were caught in the Tennessee River. According to the reverse of the postcard, the whopper on the left weighed sixty pounds and the dainty little fish on the right weighed twenty pounds each.




A Cape Cod lobsterman and his catch.



 This one didn't make it into the latest Accumulator. 

The reverse says "A typical days catch in Florida"


That is a wrap! 

If you are interested in reading the zine, send a couple first class stamps to:

The Accumulator: Volume One, Number Nine These images were published in the issue mentioned above.   This image was created by Tim "T-Dog" Miller for the Aid and Abettors project started by Marie Boussai and Lara Kaminoff.       This is from Jack Jeffer's "The Old Cabin" series.    This is one of the most atrocious cut and past jobs I have ever seen on a production postcard. I mean, I have certainly done worse, but I wasn't trying to sell it to anyone either!    A close up.   "A Trabi with 1 HP"       "Called To Service" by Harry Anderson, 1945.     If you enjoyed this, maybe you will enjoy my other blog "Boxholder"   http://boxholder.blogspot.com

If you would like a copy, send a postcard to the address below. Knitted zine by Patty B.   Mt. St. Helens erupted many times, but this card documents the eruption of May 1980. This card looks a little dodgy because it is a 3D lenticular card. I love me a 3D card and you should send me one now. The elusive Western Scamboni. This card was created by The Careys of Bakersfield. This fishwheel was on the Oregon side of the Columbia just upstream from Beacon Rock, seen in the background.

 The Postcard Accumulator Act I, Scene I.   This blog is intended as an accompaniment to my newsletter "THE ACCUMULATOR".  These are images of postcards that aren't well served by the inkjet reproduction used in the newsletter. My current thought is that this will include the color versions of the postcards shown in the newsletter as well as others that simply cannot tolerate the inkjet reproduction in any way. In the most recent issue (Volume 1, Number 4) I mention the restaurant below. You can now understand why I didn't even BOTHER including the  grayscale image in that issue. This is the fabulous Martinique Restaurant & Drury Lane Theatre, Chicago. According to the Chicago Tribune, it was leveled in the early part of the century to make room for...a Walmart. The postcard refers to this room as "America's Most Beautiful Theatre Restaurant".   Feel free to comment via postcard to:  Boxholder, Post Office Box 2632, Bellingham, Washington, 98227-26...
