Today the last guest post of 2018. We invited the young collector Daniël van der Aa from Rotterdam to share his choice of favourite postcards with us. And he choose to show the complete card: both the front and the back side. Daniël has a passion for the cinema and he also collects posters and other film memorabilia. Furthermore, he is writing his own film screenplay at the moment. And as he writes below, Daniel loves Claudia Cardinale as much as we do, maybe even more, and he loves cats.
Claudia Cardinale. German postcard in the Kolibri Foto-Karte series by Friedrich W. Sander-Verlag, Minden-Westf., no. 2515. Photo: Universal International. Publicity still for The Hell with Heroes (Joseph Sargent, 1968). Daniel: "CC is my favourite actress of all time. What a beauty!!!"
Postcard by Palm Pictures, no. C 23. Photo: publicity still for The Kid (Charles Chaplin, 1921) with Charlie Chaplin and Jackie Coogan. Tom Wilson is probably the cop in the background. Daniël: "I love the old comedians like Chaplin, Lloyd, Keaton, Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Fields, Our Gang, Marx Brothers to name a few."
James Dean. Postcard in the Photographs series, no. 105. Photo: publicity still for East of Eden (Elia Kazan, 1955). Daniël: "One of my favourite actors, who died way too young. The one and only rebel."
British postcard in the Picturegoer Series, London, no. 229. Photo: Frazier, N.Y. Daniël: "Am a huge fan of the silent pictures era. Douglas Fairbanks & Mary Pickford are two of my favourite stars from the silent era."
Greta Garbo. German postcard by Ross Verlag, no. 6771/2, 1931-1932. Photo: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Publicity still for Queen Christina (Rouben Mamoulian, 1933). Daniël: "Garbo is my second favourite actress of all time."

Caption: You Suck and I'll blow or we'll both be suckers. Daniël: "Love the humor of the Marx Brothers and especially Groucho's. 'One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I'll never know'."

German postcard, no. 1798/1, 1927-1928. Photo: Ufa. Daniël: "A photo of Gustav Fröhlich from the times he played the lead in Metropolis (Fritz Lang, 1927). I love the silent German movies like Metropolis, Die Nibelungen, Nosferatu, Der Golem."

The Bobcat. American postcard by The L.L. Cook Co., Milwaukee, Wisc., no. 1502-V. Daniël: "1960s. Love cats and especially the older cards, because of the colors."
Many thanks Daniël!
