  1. Hi. My mere serendipity I just came across this postcard of the 1930's eclipse in Bogotá. I would love to check it out in a higher resolution. By any chance you have it? Would you use so kind to let me know where you got it? Thanks in advance!

  2. They came from a simple Google image search. Try entering "astronomy postcards". Good luck.
