Special Post: The 500th Sent Postcrossing Postcard!


The 500th Postcard!


This card is the 500th sent postcard registered on my Postcrossing profile!

The card was registered by Postcrossing member yanigurl13 on  April 6, 2016 and  traveled a distance of 8,490 miles to travel to Daveo City in the Philippines in 37 days.  The card had been sent on March 1, 2016.  

This postcard features a painting by arguably my favorite artist: Claude Monet (1840-1926) of his wife Camille in a black and green dress painted in 1866.  The card came from the 2014 Art Institute of Chicago exhibition Impressionism,Fashion, and Modernity.  The painting is normally displayed at the Kunsthalle Bremen in Germany.
