Postcard Description
This vintage RPPC shows a charming pastoral moment on Northland Road in Londonderry, Ireland, where a small flock of sheep is being driven down a tree-lined street. Pedestrians, a horse-drawn cart, and period homes add to the lively early-20th-century atmosphere. The real-photo image is sepia toned and unused, with “This is a real photograph” printed on the back.
