M24: Calesa Postcard

This is a 3D postcard that shows the kalesa or calesa or karitela. The calesa is a horse-driven carriage used in the Philippines and was one of the modes of transportation in the Philippines that was introduced by the Spaniards in the 18th century that only nobles and high ranked officials could afford. They are rarely used in the streets nowadays except in tourist spots (Vigan, Intramuros, etc.).

The back of the postcard reads:

Calesa - With a lady passenger in Filipina dress at Fort Santiago, Manila, Philippines

However, if you look closer, the calesa does not have any passenger behind the driver. The ruins behind the calesa is part of the Jose Rizal Shrine in Fort Santiago.

This is another 3D postcard that shows daisies. Probably the same bouquet of daisies as the M19 Postcard, just shot in a different angle.

M19: Daisy Postcard

This is a 3D postcard that shows three daisies (as what the back of the postcard says). I also had time identifying the exact specie of the daisy. There are about 1,600 genera and 23,000 species of the family Asteraceae or Compositae (known as the aster, daisy, or sunflower family).

M17: Rose Postcard

This is a 3D postcard that shows a bouquet of red and pink roses in a vase and taken in a studio, I assume. There are over 100 species of rose so I cannot identify the exact species of the roses in the postcard.
