Adrian my friend if you just stop for a moment and think about it then the postcard you are referring to was published toward the end of 1914. In...
I have my own private collection of 750 Propaganda Postcards of the first World War. Many of the cards are in the collection mentioned above although...
You are both right Annie and Adrian - it is the correct Columbia as per my first picture. She was built for the Anchor Line in 1902 and after her...
