Portuguese Costumes

I thought it might be fun to post some old postcards I've gathered on the interent or in my travels over the years of Azorian and Portuguese costumes.  The first batch are typical costumes from all over Portugal.  The second batch are specifically from the Azore Islands, where my family originated.

Versions of many of these postcards are for sale
