    As we told in the previous post, http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/145057-antique-erotic-postcard-high-resolution?in=user, today I changed the picture in that one to higher resolution, these five postcards were a present of Pocho Caro. In the first one it was clear to me that the recipient was a Lady whose name was Fabiola Espeche. Now I know that the poet was Dalmiro Tolosa from Choya was living from memories. I translated the small poem he wrote and the heart with the Miosotis or forget me not flowers clearly suggest this.
    Así como las flores se alimentan del rocío
    Las almas sentimentales delicadas
    se alimentan de recuerdos, esperanzas e ilusiones
    Dalmiro Tolosa, Choya Agosto primero de 1906.

    As flowers feed on dew
    The delicate sentimental souls
    feeds on memories, hopes and dreams.
    Dalmiro Tolosa, Choya first of August 1906.

    I googled Choya and what I found surprised me a lot. I knew it is a small town to the north of Cordoba, where we reside, and that it is small, but did not know it has few than hundred inhabitants today. Also found that Espeche is in Santiago del Estero were the an emblematic surname of what is popularly called the choyana nobility. This group consisted of a few wealthy families owning large estates in what is today the department Choya. Also found that the Tolosa and Espeche families were the founders of Choya and relatives since Felix Rosa Tolosa was a cousin of Crisanto Gómez Molina, grandson of Juan Nicolás Gómez and María Mercedes Bulacia and Espeche and Quiroga, son of Teresa and Lorenzo Gomez Espeche Tolosa Leiva. Not easy to follow, this was about 1850, probably the great great grandfathers of our protagonists.
    From the book the True History of San Pedro of Choya http://es.scribd.com/doc/31522476/La-Verdadera-Historia-de-San-Pedro-de-Choya-Libro#scribd I took a paragraph that follows:
    “San Pedro is a small a tiny village of this vast region. It rises over the gentle slope of a blue mountains at the foothills of Guasayán , and seems to emerge from vega and alcores, the almost noticeables windings of the earth, ocher, purple, surrounded by hills and lomazos, squeezed by z dense monte and in the past was an ethnic social island. These small town was founded lots of years ago by Admin. Juan Francisco Espeche, (cognate with the Governor of Catamarca with the same surname), Admin. Felix Rosa Tolosa (contained in the poem Ascasubi), Admin. Fermín Brizuela (nephew of General Brizuela, are being killed in El Raco) and Admin. Crisanto Gómez (which govern the Province of Catamarca). All them, relatives, migrate from their native province because of the civil war, buy lands in Santiago del Estero, form their stays, and definitely rooted, giving prolific families origin, born mingling between them so conseving the purity, refinement and selective probity ; and seedbed of moral, with their own rules, walled in a sort of island or their family customs, with their own customs. Do you understand now why I said they formed an ethno-social island?”
    In another part you can read “Is not it true that their names like Heloise Elsiario, Duvilda, Doralisa, Adesinda, I Argira, Mordecai, Methodius, Orosimán Gumer, Sila, Atenedor, Strato, Guillabaura, Genívera, Miserata, Odofio, Tarmenión, Deiphile, Gozuinda are, Nomiranda, Duverlí, Consifisión, Azulina and many others? I've been to this town. The old San Pedro, which was founded many years ago, no longer exists.”
    So I conclude that this was a real approach to a love history that probably was not approved by the laws because of their were close relatives. Their uncommon names Dalmiro y Fabiola were common in that little village and that in 1906 Fabiola resided in Frías, very near of San Pedro form the same district of Choya (because in the other side of the postcard you can read Miss Fabiola Espeche, Frías).
    The other postcard is a fan and the only there is a signature, I am not able to read anything, and Frías noviembre 1906, so Fabiola was in Frías in that year.
