Albanian Industry
Like all communist regimes, the Albanians up until 1991 prominently featured photos of industrial sites in their magazines, newspapers, and even postcards. This postcard is of an industrial area in the city of Korce. It was used by an ordinary citizen as a New Year's greeting card in 1979, with the handwritten text: "Gezuore Vitim e Ri 1980." (Happy New Year 1980).
I'll be adding several other similar images. Albanian born Arian sent me an email asking if I had any such pictures. He has a blog about Albanian design at http://tirana-idc.blogspot.com
