Snowdon and Llyn Padarn

            The Postcard

A Natural Colour Photogravure postcard that was printed and published by J. Arthur Dixon Ltd. of Newport, I.W. The colour photograph was by J. Arthur Dixon Studios.

On the divided back the publishers have printed:

'Snowdon and Llyn Padarn.
The highest mountain in Wales,
goal of the climber and tourist
alike, is seen across the two mile
long Llyn Padarn.
For those wishing to explore the
lake, boats are available at
Llanberis.
A view in the Snowdonia  
National Park."

The location and date of posting are not legible, but we know from the 2½d. stamp that the card was posted after the 1st. October 1957, and before the 17th. May 1965, which is when the inland postal rate was increased to 3d. 

The card was sent to:

Miss A. Norman,
10, Church End,
Renhold,
Beds.

The message on the divided back was as follows:

"Dear Auntie,
Lots to do and so little
time to do it in.
Hope to walk up
Snowdon tomorrow!
Yvonne & Pat."
