This is a postcard of Kutchkurichki (now Kučkuriškės, Lithuania) sent in 1904 from the post office in Вильна/Vilna (now Vilnius) to France. Kučkuriškės is part of Naujoji Vilnia which was a separate town from Vilnius at that time, therefore the postcard description states "près de Vilna", meaning "near Vilnius" in french. The picture shows the Vilnia river and the paper factory in the present Popieriaus gatvė/street. This factory has been built by the count Puslowski in 1823 and was operating until 2001. Most of the building shown in the picture had survived until today.
