The Postcard
A postcard published by the Photochrom Co. Ltd.
The card was posted in Margate on Friday the 19th. September 1919 to:
Miss G. Stiles,
36, Brookwood Road,
Southfields,
London S.W.
The pencilled message on the back of the card was as follows:
"Churchfield Boarding
House,
Churchfields,
Margate.
Dear Grace,
We are having a ripping
time.
Our faces are quite sore
being sunburnt.
Fancy George being in
England.
I am glad I have an extra
week's holiday, I want the
time we have down here
not to go quickly.
Love from Rose".
The Photochrom Co. Ltd.
The Photochrom Co. Ltd. of London and Royal Tunbridge Wells originally produced Christmas cards before becoming a major publisher and printer of tourist albums, guide books, and postcards.
These mainly captured worldwide views as real photos, or were printed in black & white, monochrome, and color.
They also published many advertising, comic, silhouette, novelty, panoramic, and notable artist-signed cards in named series as well. The huge number of titles that Photochrom produced may well exceed 40,000.
In 1896 they took over Fussli’s London office established three years earlier, and began publishing similar photo-chromolithographic postcards after securing the exclusive English licence for the Swiss photochrom process.
This technique was used to produce a great number of view-cards of both England and Europe. While they captured the same fine details as the Swiss prints, their colours were much softer and reduced.
Apart from their better known photochroms, they produced their Celesque series of view-cards printed in tricolor.
One of the largest unnamed series that Photochrom produced was of view-cards printed in brown rotogravure. Many of these cards were simply hand coloured with a dominant red and blue, which gives these cards a distinct appearance. They are similar to cards produced in their Photogravure and Velvet Finish Series.
Photochrom postcard series include:
-- Night Series - Line block halftone over a blue tint depicting London.
-- Carbofoto Series - Black & white real photo cards.
-- Sepiatone Series - Sepia real photo cards.
-- Grano Series - View-cards printed in black & white.
-- Exclusive Photo-Color Series - View-cards printed in colour.
-- Duotype Process Series - View-cards printed in two tones.
Cliftonville
Cliftonville is a coastal area of the town of Margate, situated to the east of the main town. It contains the area known as Palm Bay.
The original Palm Bay estate was built in the 1930's as a number of large, wide avenues with detached and semi-detached houses with driveways, garages and gardens. This land was sold by Mr Sidney Simon Van Den Bergh to the Palm Bay Estate Co. on the 23rd. June 1924. Such avenues include Gloucester Avenue and Leicester Avenue.
East Cliftonville
The Palm Bay estate covers the eastern part of Cliftonville, and was fields before the first avenue was built. It extends east beyond Northumberland Avenue and has been developed in phases. The later phase extending eastwards of Princess Margaret Avenue is a modern-style housing estate with small houses largely identical in appearance and of less substantial build quality than the original 1930's estate.
The eastward expansion of Cliftonville has included much of the former parish of Northdown, including Northdown Park and House.
West Cliftonville
West Cliftonville was originally developed as the up-market alternative to bustling Margate, and had many small private hotels and guest houses with outstanding Victorian architecture which catered for the many visitors to what was in the first half of the 20th. century a thriving holiday resort.
Many of the large hotels have been converted into one bed flats; this has brought about positive action from Thanet District Council which introduced selective licensing, ensuring that quality home improvements are maintained by landlords (2006) and restricting planning permission for one bedroom flats (2007).
Cliftonville now has many of its streets protected by conservation area orders. The seafront area once included many large hotels, including at one time a large Butlins complex. Some fantastic hotels remain, e.g. Smiths Court Hotel overlooking the sea, and The Walpole Bay Hotel.
Tourism and visitor numbers have increased in Cliftonville (2018) with the addition of newly opened bed and breakfasts changing the Cliftonville landscape. Northdown Road and Cliff Terrace have also had a resurgence, with many trendy and hip businesses opening up.
The Oval Bandstand and lawns run by community group GRASS Cliftonville bring an opportunity to bring community engagement to Cliftonville, and they host a monthly award-winning farmers' market on the last Sunday of every month.
During the summer there are a number of activities and events, including musical shows. The Tom Thumb Theatre brings a host of music events and theatre to Cliftonville.
Writing and Poetry
During the first half of the 20th. century, Cliftonville was considered the fashionable hotel quarter of Margate. It was during the autumn of 1921 that T. S. Eliot spent a period of convalescence at the Albermarle Hotel. His widow has confirmed that he found inspiration for, and wrote significant sections of 'The Waste Land' in the Grade II listed Nayland Rock promenade shelter.
The spirit of early 20th. century Margate and Cliftonville was caught by John Betjeman (1906 - 1984) in his poem "Margate 1940":
Margate 1940
From out The Queen's Highcliffe for weeks at a stretch
I watched how the mower evaded the vetch,
So that over the putting-course rashes were seen
Of pink and of yellow among the burnt green.
How restful to putt, when the strains of a band
Announced a thé dansant was on at The Grand,
While over the privet, comminglingly clear,
I heard lesser Co-Optimists down by the pier.
How lightly municipal, meltingly tarr'd,
Were the walks through the lawns by the Queen's Promenade
As soft over Cliftonville languished the light
Down Harold Road, Norfolk Road, into the night.
Oh! then what a pleasure to see the ground floor
With tables for two laid as tables for four,
And bottles of sauce and Kia-Ora and squash
Awaiting their owners who'd gone up to wash -
Who had gone up to wash the ozone from their skins
The sand from their legs and the rock from their chins,
To prepare for an evening of dancing and cards
And forget the sea-breeze on the dry promenades.
From third floor and fourth floor the children looked down
Upon ribbons of light in the salt-scented town;
And drowning the trams roared the sound of the sea
As it washed in the shingle the scraps of their tea.
Beside The Queen's Highcliffe now rank grows the vetch,
Now dark is the terrace, a storm-battered stretch;
And I think, as the fairy-lit sights I recall,
It is those we are fighting for, foremost of all.
We know from Betjeman's letters that he visited Margate in 1929 while staying at nearby Birchington with his convalescing employer.
This visit alone would have been sufficient to acquaint him with Margate's pre-war gaiety, the innocent pleasures it offered as a family seaside resort, as well as the more upmarket pretensions of its eastern extension, Cliftonville.
There were probably subsequent visits, one of which must have taken place in the early years of the second World War, as recorded in the poem 'Margate, 1940'.
The evocation of the resort's former glories poignantly conjures up, by contrast, the neglected, bomb-battered desolation it had become.
Note: 'Vetch' is a climbing plant in the pea/legume family. It produces small, pealike flowers (often blue, purple, yellow, or white). It grows quickly and is highly valued in farming for forage (animal feed) and as green manure. Like other legumes, vetches host bacteria on their roots that take nitrogen from the air and convert it into a natural fertilizer, thereby improving soil health.
Trevor Howard
The actor Trevor Howard was born in Cliftonville on the 29th. September 1913.
Sugar Consumption in the U.S.
So what else happened on the day that Rose posted the card?
Well, on the 19th. September 1919, the Chicago Tribune reported that the consumption of sugar in the United States for the first 7 months of 1919 was 362,000 tons more than during the corresponding period in the previous year.
This was according to statistics compiled by the United States Sugar Equalization Board.
This represents an increased per capita consumption of one pound per month. So now you know.

University of the Future
Internationalism, innovation, diversity – the new Campus WU is the concrete realization of WU’s vision for a modern university. The fundamental principles of the new architecture reflect the values and ideas we cherish at WU.
As a public institution, WU has lived up to its responsibility of building its new campus in an economical, ecological, and socially sustainable manner. WU’s decision to locate the new campus in Vienna’s second district will redefine this area and transform it into an educational hub. We have not only constructed new buildings, but in the process we have also given concrete realization to our ideas of what the university of the future should look like. The new campus is more than just a place for academic research and teaching and learning practical skills; it is also designed to create a new space for social, cultural, and political life.
The imposing Library & Learning Center (LC), designed by the Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, is a testament to the central importance of research and teaching at WU. The Library & Learning Center is surrounded by five building complexes, including the Teaching Center, which houses most of WU’s auditoriums. The Teaching Center is intended mainly for bachelor degree students, while the master degree programs are taught primarily in the individual Department buildings. The Executive Academy building is the home of continuing education and life-long learning programs. In this way, the various buildings and their functions reflect the three tiers of teaching and learning represented by the Bologna Process.
WU’s Department-based organizational structure was also a contributing factor. In the past, the various Institutes that make up the Departments were scattered across different locations. Now they have been brought together in four Department buildings, which will make life much easier for both students and faculty.
These are not the only improvements the new campus has to offer: All rooms have natural light, and the auditoriums feature state-of-the-art teaching equipment, including digital whiteboards. There are 3,000 student workplaces, three times as many as in the old buildings in Vienna’s ninth district. These workplaces are located not only in the dedicated self-study areas, but also in project rooms that can be booked by teaching staff and students alike. They cater to different needs by providing quiet spots for focused academic work as well as opportunities for work on group projects in communicationfriendly study areas.
The top priority in planning the new campus was to create an environment for WU students and staff that is conducive to productive work and communication.
Not only the buildings themselves, but also the surrounding grounds offer plenty of opportunities for communication and meeting people. 55,000 m² of Campus WU’s total 100,000 m² of floor and surface area is open, publicly accessible space. Fences or barriers would contradict our vision of an open campus.
Visitors and area residents are more than welcome at Campus WU. The campus offers not only food for thought, but also restaurants, cafés, and shops, all in a stimulating architectural environment.
As different as they may look, however, the buildings are all based on the same overall technical concept: the building infrastructure is standardized in terms of construction, energy supply, ventilation, and sanitary facilities. The entire campus has been designed in accordance with “green building” principles. Much of the required energy is obtained using geothermal energy from groundwater.
Another key feature of Campus WU is barrier-free accessibility. All auditoriums are specially equipped for people with disabilities, all areas are designed to be wheelchair accessible, and the campus also features a tactile guidance system for the visually impaired.
We have not only made sure to comply with all relevant legal guidelines, but we have also drawn on experience gained from best practice examples. WU aims to play a pioneering role – in all respects.

We live in a hyper-technological society in which family life is failing, a world where we can learn anything except how to be parents; how to raise children with values and limits, how to say No more often, how to discipline them.
It is said that we must raise children in freedom. No demands on them. Let them dictate their own rules and do as they please. These are well-intentioned mistakes whose consequences we are paying for daily: children and adolescents who run away, commit suicide, kill and drug themselves.
The absence of the mother in the home and the weakening of fatherly authority have become a central issue of a daily reality that threatens to destroy the family as an institution. Alone, in front of a computer our children grow up in a state of emotional emptiness. Consequently, they do not grow up. Christina Balinotti provides an enlightening handbook designed to show mothers (and fathers) how to lead and strengthen the family. It is a defense of the most important and significant event of human experience: parenthood.
Christina Balinotti is an Argentine author and lecturer. She holds a bachelor’s degree in the social sciences with graduate studies in Psychology including three years of special studies in Philosophy and Literature in her native Buenos Aires. She also has ample knowledge in the field of quantum physics.
She has resided in Miami since the year 2000, where she works as an international analyst on TV and Radio, investigating the crimes and suicides of our young people and their relationship to maternal absence during a child’s early years in this and in other developed societies.
Through her Foundation, Holistic Femininity, Christina Balinotti organizes conferences and annual workshops at several Florida universities (FIU, UM, SUAGM) as well as in important venues in Miami for the purpose of educating women in the essential recovery of family values and in the pathways of holistic femininity, all free of charge.
In 2013 she hosted a radio show at Radio Nova Internacional as well as a weekly TV Show at Telemiami in which she, together with other professionals, including sociologists, historians and psychologists, analyzed the role of women in Western cultures. Proud mother and grandmother.
This quickly became a very moving experience once realizing what we had stumbled upon. There are 110 pillors, one for each who perished in the senceless accident. Though I did not know at the time, I was astonished to notice that it did sit perpendicular to the highway or pond and wondered why. It was not until my final photo that that I noticed that its shaped formed an arrowhead that looked to be pointing towards a possible crash site. That's exactly what it is 8 miles deep into the Everglades. DO NOT MISS THIS, FIND IT!

The search for new ideals characterizes our generation. But which values and virtues are still relevant today - religious, moral, spiritual or personal?
The 2013 Trend Diary presents design projects exploring the theme of values.
Why a Trend Diary dealing with values? We feel that in the course of the change instigated by the digital revolution, our view of a clearly defined, shared value system is increasingly fading. While design for "material values" is loud and ever-present, ethical values that paint a picture of belief, family, virtues and moral ideals are drowning in the modern media excess.
What´s in the trend diary? The Trend Diary, in the format of a desk calendar, assembles inspiring works of design by 53 designers of different cultures. Design that conveys values in message and function, provides guidance or aids us in our quest for meaning. Design that shows us that values are the most valuable thing we possess.
In keeping with the trend set by previous award-winning issues from the EIGA Trend Diary series, the publication showcases a special focus on experimental typography and groundbreaking graphic design. The designers at EIGA have developed a unique typeface whose characters are composed of continually rearranging elements – just like society’s understanding of shared values. Furthermore each calendar week features an individual composition corresponding to the designer’s contributions while still following a consistent overall design principle.
The cultural background. Design has been a guide and bearer of standards and values in all cultures from time immemorial. This is evidenced by the codex the Mesopotamians hewed in stone in the 18th century BC, by the awe-inspiring illumination of European Bible manuscripts in the Middle Ages or by the Bauhaus school's function-driven approach to design. Utilizing any given era's media toolbox, design brings the ideals and moral values of society to the surface.
Fact and figures. The Trend Diary was initiated by EIGA, a Hamburg-based design office, and published by NBVD. The production enjoys support from well-known partners in fine paper, printing and print finishing. 53 designers are given a special platform in the form of a weekly motive in the exclusive design calendar.
