I am sorry I am unable to cut and paste here but my contribution is this: someone gave me a book with lots of gorgeous old pics rather like the ones posted here. Title is "Postcards of Old Siam" by Bonnie Davis

Oh, yes! The picture book by Bonnie Davis. Quite the historic interest, it is. Ah.....it might be easier to attach from your personal file than to attempt to c&p. Just click on the 'save image as' on the item, throwing it in your systems files. Rename if you have to. The mechanics to attach/load a photo within each post is not complicated - one is not even required to secure the image in your TV gallery.

Thank you for posting these
