It features one of Vasco's postcards from 1905. At this time there were up to three mail deliveries a day in central Melbourne. A postcard sent in the morning could set up up a meeting, under the clocks at Flinders Street, at the time the sender indicated on the blank clock. At a time when few people had telephones and postcards were very popular, such a message served the same function as modern texting.
