Here are some vintage Egyptian postcards from the late 1920s. I found them in my granny’s stash of old photos and she’s very kindly let me keep them! They’re beautiful, but have a lot of age-related damage.

Gorgeous cards! 
Are they written? It would be interesting to hear your grandma’s impression of this trip, if she got them in Egypt! 
Would you be interesed in trade? I offer you 4 vintage french or USA cards
They aren’t written on, although I do have a collection of photographs of my great-great-grandfather’s time in Egypt!

As these are sentimental family items, I don’t want to trade them. Thank you for the offer though, very much appreciated!!
What a treasure! They must have been quite the adventurers — I don’t imagine that many people were able to make such a trip back then! 
Unless you were very rich or working for a tourism company, it was basically impossible. My great-great-grandfather visited with the British Army, around the same time that Tutankhamun’s grave was being excavated!
