My great-frandfather’s name was Philippe Theriault. This is actually a great idea for a collection – postcards with a certain a name on them. If they’re traditional Catholic names it wouldn’t be that hard because almost every town in Quebec was named after a saint!

Beautiful postcard….
Did you grandfather collect postcards with the name Philip (Phillip) on them? I have a friend who collects postcards with the name Mary (her name) on them. I think It would be fun to collect such cards, yet with the name Robin, I doubt I would get very far. :–)

Congratulations on your 100th….

Have a beautiful weekend

I’m surprised the card has 2 Ls becasue 1 L is more common.

You said I might not be able to see the silver sparkles, so when I clicked on the card and it enlarged I let out a little gasp…and then I smiled real big. Cheap Thrills. Lovely card! Thanks for handling it again and scanning it for us.

Congratulations on your century! I can see the glitter very well. The spelling of Phillip with a double “l”, I was told by a friend whose son was a Philip, is relatively recent and that in came into being by accident during the 17th century. I don’t know how true that is.

How very lovely. The real thing, with its glittering details, must be very lovely. Thank you so much for sharing the history behind it! Happy PFF!

Congratulations, Chris. I really enjoy your posts. It’s fascinating to read about your great-grandfather and to discover him with you through his postcard collection.
