Postcard Friendship Friday – Burchell’s Zebra

Posted on February 24, 2012 by Julie Goucher
Some recent genealogical research revealed a connection, albeit, a distant one, to the man that these Zebra are named after; William John Burchell (1781-1863). So far, the life of William appears absolutely fascinating and I think this will continue to be the case. The path research takes us along is sometimes mind boggling!

This particular card dates from circa 1950.
