Postcards from original paintings by U Ba Kyi, at the Strand Hotel, Rangoon, Burma
U Ba Kyi (17 July 1912 – 15 April 2000) studied for a year at the Beaux Arts de Paris and he also studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. He managed to weave together the western style with the traditional Burmese style. He painted murals and watercolors and his work is exhibited around the world. These paintings he did for the Strand Hotel show the lighter side of Burmese character.
Most likely these were done before 1950.

Remember these Falls? They still look the same as they did when we used to come fishing up here. the family likes to play tennis on a court in the park. I was lazy all day yesterday, up at 5:30 this a.m. Now I’m back in bed relaxing again. Bill called yesterday from Hong Kong where he will be for the weekend.
Rainy and cool here today. Hope all is ok with you. Love, Dede

Jane and I have arrived safely and so far we’re having a great time. We went into this cathedral yesterday. Also we’ve been to a Broadway play, went to the top of the Empire St. building, took the Staten Island Ferry, etc. Today we’re going to go to the U. N. and some museums.
Take care, Love, Jane

We got Alicia off, and leisurely drove down the river to here for the night. Beautiful drive and great weather. Had a good dinner in the nearby Ponderosa! Bill managed to stay in bed until almost 9 this am!! Alicia thought your movie and restaurant were great. Really enjoyed both.
Cheers. Love, Va.
