This vibrant vintage postcard captures the historic William III of Orange Statue in Brixham, England, against a lively harbor backdrop. The statue commemorates William III's landing on November 5th, 1688, a pivotal moment in English history, as detailed on the statue's plinth. A distinctive Spanish flag flies prominently beside the monument, adding an intriguing visual element to the scene, while several individuals are depicted enjoying the picturesque setting, including an artist at work.

Published by Bamforth & Co. Ltd., a renowned name in postcard production, this piece offers a colorful glimpse into Brixham's maritime heritage and historical significance. The reverse side bears a clear postmark from Southend-on-Sea, Essex, dated May 10, 1980, along with a British Christmas stamp, indicating its journey to Madrid, Spain. This collectible postcard combines historical commemoration with everyday life, making it a unique memento of a bygone era and a fascinating piece for enthusiasts of British history, royal figures, and coastal towns.

If you choose "FREE" shipping, the card will be sleeved and sent in a thin cardboard mailer using eBay Standard Envelope (ESE) tracking. Note that ESE tracking only tracks movement between processing centers and does not provide mailbox-to-mailbox tracking. A "Delivered" or "Out For Delivery" scan indicates that the card has reached the final sorting center prior to your local post office; it may take a few extra days, to a week (& add up to an additional week during Xmas), to reach your mailbox. Expect potential delays of up to 3 weeks within the U.S.

Free ESE Shipping Limitations: The cardboard mailer cannot be marked "Do Not Bend" nor "Hand Cancel" and the card cannot be sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard, as these options disqualify it from ESE shipping.
