Harding's 1909 sightseeing tour of Europe

Group of six postcards with ANSs by Harding, each signed with his initials, "W. G. H.," all sent home from Europe to Henry R. Schaffner, general business manager of The Marion Star, from February to September 1909. Harding writes, in part: "Are now doing Italy, and we like it. We are paying tribute to Christopher Columbus here"; "A glimpse of Pompeii"; "The renowned bridge of sighs, in Venice. Hope things are going finely and bank acct swelling"; "Greeting from Heidelberg. We made the trip in an auto. Our best to the office crew"; "Greeting again from Suisse"; and "Last greeting from across the sea. We are due home on 17th or 18th." In fine condition.
