Post cards from Karel

An ‘Auto’biography of History

An MGA Twin Cam in front of the Palazzo del Cinema on the island of Lido di Venezia. The island, part of the city of Venice, in the Adriatic Sea is known for it beaches. The Palazzo del Cinema has been the home of the annual Venice Film Festival since 1932. It looks a little modernized today, but the architecture hasn’t changed since the photo for this postcard was taken, probably around 1960.

ON THE BACK COVER: The card was sold in aid of BEN, an English charity founded in 1905, to provide "help and care, in times of need, for current and retired employees, and their dependents, from the motor, commercial vehicle, motorcycle, cycle, agriculture engineering and allied trades and industries", and published by The Almanac Gallery.
