Greetings from Pre-WW1 Dubrovnik

Another instalment of my recent engagement with my grandfather's postcard collection

Today, I’ve got a bunch of postcards from Dubrovnik, formerly known as Ragusa, an old city on the eastern shores of the Adriatic Sea. All images here come from my grandfather’s postcard collection, and in this instance, they are all from the last couple of years before the First World War.

Old Dubrovnik with its suburbs
