Happy Birthday, Jackie!

“I have been through a lot and have suffered a great deal. But I have had lots of happy moments as well. Every moment one lives is different from the other. The good, the bad, hardship, the joy, the tragedy, love, and happiness are all interwoven into one single, indescribable whole that is called life. You cannot separate the good from the bad. And perhaps there is no need to do so, either.” - Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Many of the postcards from the 1930s and 1940s do a very bad job touching up the Chrysler Building, particularly mangling the crown. It’s nice to see that this one is very faithful to the real thing.
